Dietlind Falk: No Regrets
In the organizer's words:
Literatür.jetzt. Feminist voices from everyday working life
Who cares? The Literatür .jetzt reading series is entering its second round. This time with a focus on stories by and about women and other FLINTA* people in the context of the world of work. Inevitably, topics such as unpaid care work, access and opportunities to education and paid work come up. Equally omnipresent are role expectations and attributions within the family, among friends, dealing with insecurity or suppressed anger.
* (The acronym FLINTA stands for women, lesbians, inter, non-binary, trans and agender people).
A smelly stuffed alligator in the shop window, empty beer bottles on the registration counter, deafening metal: welcome to the NO REGRETS tattoo studio. Here, somewhere between Dortmund and Duisburg, the two best friends Hänk and Muddy have been engraving roses, anchors, soccer club crests and skulls for decades. But the world around Hänk and Muddy has changed, and the two worn-out guys have become obsolete. To save NO REGRETS from ruin, they bring young Luz into the store - and an involuntary, deep friendship develops between the three outsiders, which not only fills NO REGRETS with a new zest for life.
Düsseldorf author Dietlind Falk takes her readers into the tattoo milieu and presents a story that captivates with its pot atmosphere, charming snottiness, quirky characters, lots of love of friendship and humor. You should get to know No Regrets, Hänk, Muddy and Luz - and many other lovingly drawn characters such as Laber-Jochen, DIY store Bernie or Schotter if you love stories by Sven Regener or Rocko Schamoni.
