German playwright and novelist. Born in Leipzig to a wealthy businessman, he later lived in Brussels. One of the leading figures in Expressionist literature, he is known for his concise, quirky style and biting social satire. He wrote many lively comedies that championed individualism, as well as novels, critiques, and autobiographies. His main works include the comedy series "Underpants" (1911), "Bourgeois Sippel" (1913), and "Snob" (1914), as well as the short story collection "Chronicles of the Early 20th Century" (1918), and the novel "Europe" (1919-20).
