  <about><![CDATA[Bernhard Schlink is a German jurist and writer. He became a judge at the Constitutional Court of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia in 1988 and has been a professor of public law and the philosophy of law at Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany since January 2006.

His career as a writer began with several detective novels with a main character named Selb--a play on the German word for &quot;self.&quot;  In 1995 he published &lt;i&gt;The Reader&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Der Vorleser&lt;/i&gt;), a partly autobiographical novel. The book became a bestseller both in Germany and the United States and was translated into 39 languages. It was the first German book to reach the number one position in the &lt;i&gt;New York Times&lt;/i&gt; bestseller list.]]></about>      <hometown>Bielefeld</hometown>  <born_at>07/06/1944</born_at>
