Life
Lenz studied Spanish literature at the University of Bern. He has worked full-time as a writer since 2001.
He writes columns for several newspapers in Switzerland, including the Neue Zürcher Zeitung and WOZ Die Wochenzeitung. He is also active in Bern's spoken word scene, performing as part of the Hohe Stirnen ('high foreheads') group. He lives in Olten.
His 2010 novel Der Goalie bin ig – written in Swiss German – won several prizes and was translated into Scots by Donal McLaughlin under the title Naw Much of a Talker. The novel was made into a film (English title: I Am the Keeper) that was a major winner at the 2014 Swiss Film Awards with seven nominations from which it won four trophies including Best Feature Film. The film, directed by Sabine Boss, is notable for its dialogue in Bernese German. The film played at the Locarno Film Festival in August 2014.
