Martin Walser (German: [ˈmaʁ.tiːn ˈvalˌzɐ]) was a German writer, especially known as a novelist. He began his career as journalist for Süddeutscher Rundfunk, where he wrote and directed audio plays, and travelled to England, France, Italy, Czechoslavakia and Poland as part of the job. He was part of Group 47 from 1953. Walser is regarded, along with Heinrich Böll, Günter Grass, and Siegfried Lenz, as one of Germany's most influential postwar authors. Walser died in Nussdorf at age 96.
