Nicholas Kulish

Watch a highlight from the talk:

Nicholas Kulish first moved to Berlin in 1995 as a college student studying abroad, at a moment in the city’s history of significant transition and upheaval but also creative freedom. He returned regularly to work on a literary journal known as Aussenseite des Elements, before moving back as a Fulbright Scholar in 2003. During that fellowship he wrote a satirical novel about the Iraq invasion, which he covered as an embedded reporter for The Wall Street Journal, called Last One In.

Since 2007 he has worked as a foreign correspondent for The New York Times, based in Berlin and covering stories from Moscow to Cairo to Budapest. His main focus recently has been the euro crisis, but he finds time to write about Berlin’s art and literature, its sports and nightlife.
