An evening with Lukas Rietzschel: Literature, present and the subtle breaks of Sanditz
The reading with Lukas Rietzschel as part of the 31st Schwerin Literature Days promises a literary experience of particular density. On October 15, 2026, the city library in the Schwerin courtyards opens its doors for an evening that connects contemporary literature, East German experiences, and precise linguistic art.
A novel about belonging, new beginnings and the friction of the present
With Sanditz, Lukas Rietzschel presents a polyphonic novel that interweaves family, community and contemporary history into a panorama of German experiences. The text revolves around new beginnings and decline, friendship, family and the desire to find a place in a changing world. It is precisely this blend of social analysis and narrative closeness that makes the evening so appealing for literature lovers.
The voice of an author who misses the East in literature
Lukas Rietzschel, born in 1994 in Räckelwitz, is one of the distinctive young voices of contemporary literature. His debut Striking the World with a Fist brought him to a wider audience, followed by Space Traveler. His novels and plays have been awarded multiple times, including the Gellert Prize, the Saxon Literature Prize, and the Literature Prize Text & Language. To experience him live is to meet an author who translates social tension into clear, powerful language.
Reading atmosphere in the city library Schwerin
The city library in the Schwerin courtyards creates the perfect setting for an intimate encounter with the author. Between bookshelves, cultural space and audience, the concentrated reading atmosphere emerges, making literary texts resonate in a different way. The evening will be moderated by Kathrin Matern, journalist and bookseller, which adds to the depth of conversation and literary classification.
Why the visit is worthwhile
This reading is more than a book presentation. It opens a space for contemporary literature, cultural discourse and personal discovery. Those who appreciate Rietzschel's linguistic art or are looking for an insightful evening with current literature will find a strong event in the Schwerin Literature Days. The audience can expect a dense, reverberating evening that will linger in their minds. Being there live is particularly worthwhile for this author encounter.
