Mark Behr is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on October 19, 1963 in Tanzania, Tanzania.
Behr was born into a family of farmers in the district of Oljorro, Arusha, Tanzania, then still Tanganyika. After the nationalisation of white-owned farms during the implementation of President Julius Nyerere’s Ujamaa Policy of African Socialism in 1964, the family emigrated to South Africa. Here the family defined themselves as Afrikaners, with the Behr children attending Afrikaans language schools and the conservative Dutch Reformed church.
After leaving the South African Defence Force, Behr attended Stellenbosch University in the Western-Cape Province of South Africa. It was during this period (1985–1989) that Behr’s creative work was first published; several poems appeared in the university’s annual magazine, “Die Stellenbosse Student”. While a student there, Behr became an agent for the South African apartheid government, which was committed to monitoring the activities of students on university campuses to prevent political insurrection.

In 2000, Behr’s second novel, Embrace, was published. Its mixed reviews may reflect enduring anxieties regarding Behr’s student political activities. Praised by Felice Picano in the Gay and Lesbian Review Worldwide for its epic quality, universal reach and insistence on complexity it was reviled in The Sunday Times by Tim Trengrove Jones as a “baggy monster of overstated anxiety.” Embrace was short-listed for The Sunday Times Award in South Africa and the Encore Award in the United Kingdom. At the end of 2009 Behr published his third novel Kings of the Water. Kate Saunders in The Times reviewed it as: “Superbly written, thoughtful and unflinching, this terrific novel explores the mentality of the Afrikaner male – with wonderfully poetic use of the Afrikaans language.” Novelist Christopher Hope, reviewing for The Guardian (January 2010), noted the spirit of Chekov’s “The Cherry Orchard” and called the novel “one of the most moving to come out of South Africa in many years.”
