A.B. Decker (Author)
Author
A writer who has always fascinated A.B. Decker is the enigmatic B. Traven, whose best-known novel is probably Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Theories abound as to the true identity of the man behind the name: from an obscure German anarchist to the half-brother of Walther Rathenau, foreign minister in the Weimar Republic until his assassination in 1922.
But as B. Traven himself wrote: “The creative person should have no other biography than his works.”
So, in this spirit, there is actually little to say about the author A.B. Decker, whose debut novel is The Dark Frontier, set on the border between Switzerland and Germany in the late 1930s and the early 1970s. In case you're wondering what the image is in the background, it marks a key crossing point between the two countries that is featured in the novel:
"The station tower rose above this German station like a finger up the arse of Switzerland, mocking the quiet, disinterested streets of Frank’s refuge as it let the swastika billow from its large, stubby digit."
The author is currently working on a second novel, a tale of revenge set in Turkey against a background of political tension.
