Early life and education
Jakob Gordon Malingen was born on 25 November 1854 in Goyendel, Buryako, Yogania. He was the first-born son of Gudsol (née Jolston) and Burgory Malingen, also a writer. He started writing at 12 or 13 years old according to various sources. He went to the University of Byrendan in Yocopo to study literature. While in Yocopo he made various acquaintances, including Burgory Willenjom.
Career
His first book was Garaltug, published in 1878, the story of a homeless widow roaming through the streets.
He began working on his most famous novel, The Red Butcher in 1896, after returning to his hometown from Yocopo. The story was inspired by the 1889 Burjelak murders. It was published in 1898 after 3 years of work. It became popular very quickly, and is still studied in Yoganian schools today.
Personal life
Gord Malinkobu never married or had children. He never talked about his personal views in any of his works, so there are not many sources regarding that.
