Peter Schneider, geboren 1940 in Lübeck, verbrachte seine frühe Kindheit in Königsberg und in Sachsen. Die
ersten Nachkriegsjahre lebte er bei Garmisch-Partenkirchen, bis die Familie 1950 nach Freiburg zog. Dort, in
München und Berlin studierte er Germanistik, Geschichte und Philosophie. 1967/68 avancierte Schneider zu
einem der Wortführer der 68er-Bewegung und wurde als solcher auch in Italien gefeiert. Nach Abschluss seines
Studiums mit dem 1. Staatsexamen wurde ihm 1973 wegen seiner politischen Aktivitäten der Eintritt ins
Referendariat verweigert. Mit Lenz (1973), das zum Kultbuch der enttäuschten Linken avancierte, gelang ihm
der Durchbruch als Autor. Seitdem schrieb Schneider zahlreiche Romane und Erzählungen, die teilweise in
20 Sprachen übersetzt wurden, sowie Drehbücher, Reportagen, Essays, Reden und Artikel für deutsche und
internationale Medien. Seit 1985 unterrichtet er als Gastdozent und Writer in Residence an amerikanischen
Universitäten, u.a. in Stanford, Princeton und Harvard. Peter Schneider ist Mitglied des PEN-Zentrums
Deutschland. Er erhielt u.a. 1979 ein Villa-Massimo-Stipendium und ist vom 1. September bis 30. November
2016 Stipendiat der Kulturakademie Tarabya in Istanbul. Er lebt in Berlin.
