Markus Bundi (born 7 August 1969 in Wettingen [1] ) is a Swiss writer.
Markus Bundi grew up in Nussbaumen in the municipality of Obersiggenthal near Baden in the canton of Aargau. After graduating from high school, he studied philosophy, new German literature and linguistics at the University of Zurich. During his studies, he worked as a sports editor at the Badener Tagblatt from 1995 to 1996, after which he was culture editor at the Aargauer Zeitung until 2005. [2]
In 2001 and 2002, Markus Bundi served on the program committee of the Solothurner Literaturtage . [3] Since 2005, he has taught philosophy and German at the Old Cantonal School Aarau. [4] Bundi became known to a wider audience with his 2011 novella "Emilie's Silence" (German : Emilies Schweigen), in which Emilie T., a nurse accused of killing more than 70 patients, does not speak a word during the entire trial. Instead, her young public defender David Moor speaks, and through his strategy of in dubio pro reo he achieves an acquittal despite being convinced of Emilie's guilt. The story received positive reviews outside Switzerland as well. [5] In January 2021, Bundi's dystopian novel The Last Colony (German : Die letzte Kolonie) was published, in which he tells the story of the last human colony living underground in a state of twilight. [6]
