Rodrigo Rodriguez asked Matthias Drawe:

You are a native German but you write in English. Why?

Matthias Drawe I came to New York for the first time when I was in my early twenties. I have a talent for languages and I lost the accent rather quickly. I feel a certain affinity to the English language. German is more convoluted somehow, English is simpler, more straight forward. Also: There is a sense of humor in the English speaking world that I find very appealing. Germans are not known to be especially funny, and I always felt my particular sense of humor underappreciated in Germany.
