Sten Nadolny, (born 29 July 1942, in Zehdenick, Province of Brandenburg) is a German novelist. His parents, Burkhard and Isabella Nadolny, were also writers.

His best known work is "The Discovery of Slowness" (1987; originally published in 1983 as "Die Entdeckung der Langsamkeit"), a fictionalized meditation on the life and lessons of British Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin. A pre-publication portion of the novel titled "Kopenhagen 1801" (which would become the fifth chapter) had earned Nadolny the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize in 1980.

Zentrale Aussage: richtig gut reden kannste nur dann wenn Du weisst wie es weitergeht wenn reden nix genuetzt hat. Grossartiges Buch ueber Freundschaft, Rhetorik und das Klima im Deutschland der 60/70 er Jahre.
