Our "In Conversation" series is dedicated to well-known authors and their latest works.
In his book "Traumland - Der Westen, der Osten und ich",Adam Soboczynski, head of literature at DIE ZEIT, begins by recounting how he left a Polish workers' settlement with his parents at the age of six and arrived in the "dreamland" of Germany, where there were sleek cars and chips in large drums. His gaze later wandered repeatedly to Eastern Europe, where the Iron Curtain began to crumble and freedom finally triumphed there too - until it finally came under threat not only in the East, but also in Western Europe.
Born in 1975, Soboczysnki has received several awards, including the German-Polish Journalism Prize. His works have been translated into French, Italian, Dutch and Spanish, among others.
Michael Serrer from the Literaturbüro NRW will be talking to Adam Soboczynski.
Moderator: Dorothée Coßmann, Managing Director of the Sparkassen-Kulturstiftung Rheinland
