Kai Henrik Twilfer (born 1976, Gelsenkirchen, West Germany) is a German merchant and author.

Early life

Kai Twilfer studied economics in Bochum. While a student, he founded a production company for advertising movies. Apart from that, he worked at Westdeutscher Rundfunk in Cologne. In 2002 he founded a wholesale company for regional gift merchandise from the Ruhr region. He is the managing director of the Industriekult-Verlags GmbH.^[1]

Career

In February 2013, he published his first book entitled Schantall, tu ma die Omma winken! (Schantall, go ahead and wave at Grandma) through Schwarzkopf & Schwarzkopf, which became a bestseller. In this book, using satire, he describes the experiences of a social worker named Jochen (given name), concerning the fictitious lower class family “Pröllmann”. His attempts to establish education fail spectacularly. The book was an online book report number one seller during 2013.^[2]
