Arthur Block

Arthur Block - this name not only stands for exciting entertainment, but also for the person behind the name. Arthur Block is Helmut Stapel - an internationally active journalist and university lecturer in literature and journalism. The synonym combines tradition with innovation. Arthur Block was the author's grandfather. He carries on the legacy of his name as Helmut A. H. Stapel with his first names - and as “Arthur Block” he brings his novels to the world in German and English. The international nature of the synonym also stands for the relevance of the novel's themes. The work on “Der Tag, an dem ein Chinese eine Fledermaus aß!” was supported by a grant from the Federal Ministry of Culture.
