Julian Tompkin Author

When Julian Tompkin first visited Berlin, the East German parliamentary ‘palace’ was still standing beside the River Spree, and Potsdamer Platz was very much a work-in-progress. Much has changed since then, and Julian has spent the last 15 years witnessing and living amidst this once-divided city’s transformation. Both an academic and journalist, Julian writes for newspapers, magazines and broadcast media in both Germany and Australia on literature, music and art – and divides his time between Fremantle, Australia and Berlin with his German wife and their two children.
