Lesung: Lukas Rietzschel liest aus seinem Roman "Sanditz"

Pub open from 6 pm

Sanditz, a small town on the edge of the republic. Here live old officers, civil rights activists, organ builders, tile collectors, local journalists, self-proclaimed resistance fighters, dreamers, early retirees, children, lovers, shy archivists – and the Wenzel family.

Warm-heartedly and from multiple perspectives, Lukas Rietzschel weaves the narrative of the family and the residents of Sanditz into a panorama of German stories – from the end of the GDR to the recent present, from the occupation of the local Stasi headquarters to the fight of a volunteer in Ukraine, from toiling on West German construction sites to an isolated island existence during the COVID epidemic.

A novel about departure and decline, success and failure of rebellion, friendship and family in tumultuous times, about the desire for belonging and the longing for freedom.

A joint event by Buchkrone Zittau and Kulturfabrik Meda.

Admission: full: 15 € / reduced: 10 €
