O Amigo Distante es una novela del autor Christoph Hein, publicada en 1987. La historia narra la vida de una doctora en Berlín Oriental, separada y sin hijos, que se siente aislada y desconfiada del mundo que la rodea. A través de su relato, Hein explora temas de soledad, desapego y las frustraciones de la vida en la RDA a principios de los años ochenta. La protagonista se siente invulnerable, como si se hubiera bañado en sangre de dragón, pero esta coraza la separa de los demás, incluyendo a su amigo Henry.
Christoph Hein is a German author and translator. He grew up in the town Bad Düben near Leipzig. Being a clergyman's son and thus not allowed to attend the Erweiterte Oberschule (EOS) in the GDR, he received secondary education at a gymnasium in the western part of Berlin. After his Abitur he jobbed inter alia as assembler, bookseller and assistant director. From 1967 to 1971 Hein studied philosophy in Leipzig and Berlin. Upon graduation, he became a dramatic adviser at the Volksbühne in Berlin, where he worked as a resident writer from 1974. Since 1979 Hein has worked as a freelance writer.
