Charlotte Elisabeth Grace Roche (born 18 March 1978 in High Wycombe, England) is a German television presenter, producer, actress and author.[1] She is best known for her novel Wetlands.

Life and career

Roche, the daughter of an engineer and a politically and artistically active mother was born in High Wycombe UK near London and raised in Germany.[2] In 1983, when Roche was five years old, Roche's parents divorced, an event and experience that Roche later incorporated in her novels Feuchtgebiete (English: Wetlands) and {{ill|Schoßgebete|de}} (English: Wrecked). She grew up in the Lower Rhine region, in a family with liberal views. Her primary school was in Niederkrüchten. In 1989 she went to the secondary school, St. Wolfhelm Gymnasium, in the neighbouring town of Schwalmtal. When she was 14 years old she moved to Mönchengladbach, where she was educated at the Hugo Junkers Gymnasium in Rheydt. She left school after the 11th grade, at the age of 17. She obtained initial stage experience in drama groups during her time at school.[3]

Roche left home in 1993, still aged 17, and formed the garage rock group The Dubinskis with three female friends. The band never released an album, nor recorded any material, nor notably performed anywhere. There followed a period where she undertook anything that would shock and offend people – self-mutilation to paint with blood, drug experiments, or shaving her head. After successfully auditioning for the German music channel Viva, she worked there for several years as a video jockey and presenter, as well on the sister channel Viva Zwei, where she presented her show Fast Forward.

Roche has a daughter, Polly, born in 2002, whose father {{Interlanguage link multi|Eric Pfeil|de}} was the producer and writer of Roche's programme Fast Forward and Der Kindergeburtstag ist vorbei! (The child's birthday party is over). Since 2007, Roche has been married to Martin Keß, co-founder of Brainpool, a media company in Cologne.

In 2006, Roche played the female lead in the German film Eden, directed by Michael Hofman. The film was widely distributed in Europe.

In an interview published in Der Spiegel in 2010, Charlotte Roche proposed to have sex with German president Christian Wulff in exchange for his veto on a new regulation extending the life of nuclear reactors,[4] highlighting the controversial extension, and Wulff's role in passing it into law.[5][6]

Living in Germany, and fearing difficulties after the Brexit vote, Roche became a German citizen in 2017.

Writer

Roche's book {{Lang|de|Feuchtgebiete}} (English: Wetlands) was the world's best-selling novel at Amazon.com in March 2008.[7] Partly autobiographical, it explores cleanliness, sex and femininity, and had sold over 1,500,000 copies in Germany by early 2009.[8] For supporters it is an erotic literary novel; for critics it is cleverly marketed shock fiction bordering on pornography with a previously exhibited habit of the author of offense for the sake of offense.[1]

Justin E. H. Smith wrote of the novel in a review in n+1: "If Roche has hit on something true and heretofore unsaid, it is the insight that to write about bodily fluids is not to describe something exceptional in the course of human life. It is, rather, to describe something that is always there and always felt to be there, through all those other things people do and experience at that level that used to be the subject of novels (falling in love, challenging others to duels, talking about the buying and selling of land, etc)."[9]

Her second novel, Schoßgebete (English: Wrecked) was published in 2011. The novel makes reference to a family tragedy in Roche's own life: in 2001, her three brothers were killed in a traffic accident on the way to her wedding.[10]

Singer

In 2006 Roche featured on the single "1. 2. 3. ..." with German musician Bela B., from Bela's debut album Bingo.

Feminism

Roche is a representative of Germany's new feminist generation. In May 2001, she appeared on the cover of Emma magazine, the most renowned feminist publication in Germany. She represents sex-positive feminism and finds some standpoints of the classic 1970s German feminism, such as its full rejection of pornography, outdated and "wrong".[11] {{failed verification|date=March 2017}}
