Nicolas Born was born under the name of Klaus-Jürgen Born in Duisburg, Germany, in 1937. Hie died Dezember 7 1979 in Lüchow-Dannenberg.

After his first publications in newspapers and magazines he got invited to the “Literarisches Colloquium Berlin” in 1964/65 where he worked together with writers such as Peter Bichsel, Walter Höllerer, Hubert Fichte and Elfriede Gerstl at the collective novel “Das Gästehaus” (The Guest House).

1965 Born published his first novel “Der Zweite Tag” (The Second Day). 1967 saw his first volume of poetry, 'Marktlage' (State of the Market). Born took part at the „International Writers Workshop“ of the University of Iowa and returned – after the publication of his second book of poetry – from the states with new ideas, influenced by pop- and beat-literature.

In 1972, Borns best known volume of poetry, 'Das Auge des Entdeckers' (The Discoverers Eye) appeared, in which he contrasted the 'mad system of reality” with utopian moments of happiness.

After he resiled to the Wendland where he got involved with anti-nuclear-movements, Born wrote the novel “Die erdabgewandte Seite der Geschichte” (The dark Side of History), which received enthusiastic reviews. Borns most famous novel, „Die Fälschung“ (The Deception),

appearing shortly before his death in 1979, was turned into a movie by Volker Schlöndorff in 1981.

25 years after his early death, in 2004, Born youngest daughter, Katharina Born, edited poems from his literary remains. In 2005, for this volume Nicolas Born was posthumously awarded the Peter-Huchel-Prize.
