Lesezeit / Xun

In the organizer's words:

China is the guest country at the Heidelberg Play Market. To set the mood, Leon Maria Spiegelberg will read the satirical short story "Diary of a Madman" from 1918 by Lu Xun, who is considered the founder of literary modernism in China. The madman in Lu Xun's story develops the idea in an inner monologue that people want to eat him up and searches for the reasons for this. The work was inspired by Gogol's short story "Diary of a Madman".
