Life and work


Born in Essen, Degens grew up in the Ruhr Valley, and finished high school in Dorsten.[1] He studied German studies and sociology at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, and graduated in 1999 with a work about Intertextuality and Distinction. In 1996, he founded a small but eclectic publishing house, SuKuLTuR, for which he has edited 147 volumes of the series “Schöner Lesen.” The series featured the work of German Writers such as Ann Cotten, Dietmar Dath, Wolfgang Herrndorf, and Clemens J. Setz, and German translations of works by Washington Cucurto, Denise Duhamel, Chris Kraus, Sarah Manguso, and Jeffrey McDaniel. More than 100,000 copies of these books have been sold from vending machines in Berlin alone.[2]

His own writings include novels, short stories, essays, poems, and editorials. From 2000 to 2012, he was the literary editor of the online cultural magazine satt.org. In 2014, he was awarded the Hugo-Ball-Literaturförderpreis. He lives in Hamburg.
