The Oak Spinner publisher is a 2006 by Lutz Graner , was established in Chemnitz Small Press .
history
The name of the publisher refers to the butterfly oak moth , whose caterpillars have stinging hairs that can cause irritation. In contrast to its namesake, the oak processionary moth , the oak moth is one of the endangered species. To get the idea of founding a publishing house for German-language (oak) literature these days, you have to be a nut, the publisher says with a wink. The publishing house has also been anchored in Bielefeld since 2010.
Publishing program
The publisher is committed to promoting the work of Hans Brinkmann , but also supports other book projects. The program is based on social commitment, often with a pinch of humor. This is how social novels and grotesques meet, political poetry and satire, minority literature and language experiment, short story and multilingualism.
