Writer from Germany seen with criminal (6,9)
I believe the answer is:
ernest hemingway
'writer' is the definition.
(Ernest Hemingway is an example)
'germany seen with criminal' is the wordplay.
'criminal' is an anagram indicator.
'germany'+'seen'+'with'='germanyseenwith'
'germanyseenwith' anagrammed gives 'ERNEST HEMINGWAY'.
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ernest hemingway that I've seen before include "A new genre is myth (anag) - author" , "Writer" .)
