David Young in a conversation with Virginia Avgerinou

  

     In July 2017, Kedros Publications released DAVID YOUNG’s first book entitled “Stasi child” which was awarded with The Dagger Prize of the The Crime Writers’ Association  as the best historical novel. In the summer of 2019, the second book in the series entitled “Stazi wolf” was translated and last December Kedros Publications published for the Greek readership Young’s third book entitled “A Darker State or Stasi State”. Literature.gr had the opportunity to talk to him, in an interview that he willingly gave to us answering our questions about his books, writing, his relationship with Greece and his future plans.

     David Young comes from Hull, England. He studied humanities at Bristol University. He has worked as a journalist for local newspapers, a London news agency and various other radio and television stations. He spends his time between his home in London and the writing shelter he recently acquired in Syros. His first novel, “Stasi child”, was awarded with The Dagger Prize by the The Crime Writers’ Association for The Best Historical Novel and was included on the bestseller lists in England for many weeks. “Stasi Wolf” and the “A Darker State or Stasi” followed, with Detective Karin Miller as the main character.
