Takis Würger is a reporter working for the German news magazine Der Spiegel. He studied Human, Social, and Political Science at St. Johnâs College Cambridge for a year before dropping out. During this time, he boxed for the University, broke two ribs and his hand, and became a member of the Adonians, the Hawksâ Club, and the Pitt Club. Named one of Mediumâs âTop 30 Journalists under 30,â alongside other accolades, Würgerâs work as a journalist has taken him to Afghanistan, Libya, Mexico, and Ukraine. The Club, which won the lit.Cologne debut prize and has become a runaway bestseller in Germany, is his first novel.
Charlotte Collins studied English at Cambridge University. She worked as an actor and radio journalist in both Germany and the U.K. before becoming a literary translator. She is best known for her translation of International Booker shortlisted Robert Seethalerâs A Whole Life and was the recipient of the Helen & Kurt Wolffâs Translatorâs Prize in 2017.
