Sibylle Berg (born 2 June 1962 in Weimar, East Germany) is a Swiss writer, writing mostly in German language. She writes novels, essays, short stories, and writes and directs plays.

Life

Born as the daughter of a music professor and a librarian in Weimar, she studied oceanography and political science in Hamburg [1]

Sibylle Berg is a recognized contemporary female writer in the German-speaking world, and has been heralded as one of Switzerland's most provocative writers. Her first novel "Ein Paar Leute suchen das Glück und lachen sich tot" ("A Few People Search For Happiness And Laugh Themselves To Death") was published in 1997 by Reclam Verlag to great acclaim, with one critic dubbing her "the new voice of a young, disenchanted generation". It was later translated into ten languages, used in school classes, and has sold around 400,000 copies.

Berg, who claimed, in the TV-Show "Willkommen Österreich", that she was born a man, grew up in Weimar, East Germany, the daughter of a music professor and a librarian. In 1984 she was allowed to leave the GDR permanently and to live in West Germany. She briefly studied oceanography at Hamburg University. In 1996, she moved to Switzerland to live in her favorite city Zurich. She married in 2004, attained Swiss citizenship in 2012, and lives for increasingly longer periods in Israel.

Writing

Her writing has been compared to that of Kurt Vonnegut, Bret Easton Ellis, Michel Houellebecq, and Will Self. She has become an iconic figure for Germany's alternative subcultures, and has gathered a huge following in Europe's LGBTQ and artistic communities.

Sibylle Berg has now written 21 plays, 14 novels, as well as essays and columns for various newspapers and magazines. Her works have been translated into 34 languages. She was awarded with the Wolfgang-Koeppen-Preis (2008), the Else-Lasker-Schüler-Dramatikerpreis (2016) and the Kasseler Literaturpreis für grotesken Humor (2019) [2]. She has also written travel reports about the Khmer Rouge, the Bosnian conflict, the Bangladesh slums, and the gold miners of the Amazon. In March 2013, she co-directed her play "Fear Travels With Us" at the Schauspiel Stuttgart, and in the same year opened the "A Day With..." series at the Berliner Festspielhaus, where she curated a six-hour event, a vast performance collage that comprised both a showcase of her own work as well as the work of 20 other artists.

Her first novel "Ein paar Leute suchen das Glück und lachen sich tot" ("A few people seek happiness and die laughing") was first published in 1997 and was later translated into ten languages. The novel is currently a regular in classes in Germany.{{Citation needed|date=July 2017}} It sold some 400,000 copies.

Her second novel "SEX II" was published in 1998, followed by "Amerika" (1999; novel), "Gold" (2000; essays), "Das Unerfreuliche zuerst. Herrengeschichten" (2001; stories), "Ende gut" (2004; novel), "Habe ich dir eigentlich schon erzählt..." (2006; fairy tale), "Die Fahrt" (2007; novel), "Vier Stücke" (2008, plays), "Der Mann schläft" (2009; novel, nominated for German Book Prize 2009), "Vielen Dank für das Leben" (2012, novel, nominated for the Swiss Book Prize 2012), "Wie halte ich das nur alles aus?" (2013, essays). Sibylle Berg also published books, including: "Und ich dachte, es sei Liebe. Abschiedsbriefe von Frauen" (2006), and "Das war's dann wohl. Abschiedsbriefe von Männern" (2008).

Beginning in January 2011, she has been writing regular columns for Spiegel Online [3] – one of the most widely read German-language news websites - under the title Fragen Sie Frau Sibylle (Ask Mrs. Sibylle). Starting in January 2018, she has been publishing a series of regular interviews with scientists in the Swiss magazine Republik entitled Nerds save the world (Nerds retten die Welt) [4]. Berg has written travel features, artist portraits and glosses for Die Zeit, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung and Die Presse.

Sibylle Berg has written a number of lyrics for the Swiss singer {{ill|Sina (singer)|lt=Sina|de|Sina (Sängerin)}}. For Phillip Boa and the Voodooclub she wrote the lyrics Speed. Phillip Boa and the Voodooclub are furthermore featured on Berg's audio book Sex II (1999) as well as the bands Rammstein and Element of Crime. Between January 2016 and December 2017, she narrated satirical texts for the ZDFneo talk show Schulz & Böhmermann.

Directing

In October 2015, she directed the world premier of her play "How To Sell A Murder House" at the Theater Neumarkt in Zurich, working with the actors Caroline Peters and Marcus Kiepe. In 2015, the translation of her play "And Now: The World" toured successfully throughout the UK.

She has also collaborated with several artists, many of whom have become her friends - Jon Pylypchuk, Dawn Mellor, Ute Mahler, Mathilde Ter Heinje, Gabríela Friðriksdóttir, Phillip Boa, Sophie Hunger and Michael Glawogger.

Performance

Sibylle Berg's readings are multimedia events that combine video, live music, and the work of various collaborators.

In autumn 2015 she delivered the laudation for Karl Ove Knausgård on his reception of the "Welt Literaturpreis", presented every year by the book supplement of Die Welt newspaper.

Since January 2016, she has been working with the comedians Jan Böhmermann and Olli Schulz on the talk show "Schulz & Böhmermann" for German TV network ZDF.
