"Children of the Red Earth" - Book Premiere and Discussion

The author Luo Lingyuan introduces her publisher Christian Ruzicska in a conversation and presents her new novel "Children of the Red Earth" with a reading. Christian Ruzicska began his publishing career in the 1990s with youthful enthusiasm and the principle of learning by doing. Der Spiegel once described him as having "megalomania" – which did not harm him at all. In 2018, Deutschlandfunk honored the Secession Verlag as a "small, fine brand for German and international literature." The publishing house has since received multiple awards, including the Great Berlin Publishing Prize in 2021. In the conversation, Christian Ruzicska provides insights into his work as a publisher and the life of the publishing house. Finally, the latest product of the publishing house, "Children of the Red Earth," a novel by Luo Lingyuan about her mother living in China, will be presented with a short reading.
