Zafer Senocak was born in 1961 in Ankara, Turkey, but has lived primarily in Berlin and Munich since 1970.

He is a frequent contributor to several leading German newspapers. Professor and chair of German Studies at Cornell University, Leslie A. Adelson is the author of Making Bodies, Making History: Feminism and German Identity (Nebraska 1993), winner of the Modern Language Association's Scaglione Prize.
