In the organizer's words:

The Heinz Strunk Show - "No money no luck no gas"

As always, Heinz Strunk's show goes from strength to strength. In summer, his new collection of stories "Kein Geld Kein Glück Kein Sprit" was published by Rowohlt, and at the end of September he followed it up with the graphic novel "Graf Fauchi und das verschwundene Gebiss" published by Carlsen. So what could be more natural than to take the two books on a reading tour and combine them with one or two humorous surprises. Rumor has it that he even takes a flute and a jingle bell with him.

The writer, musician and actor Heinz Strunk was born in Bevensen in 1962. Since his first novel Fleisch ist mein Gemüse (Meat is my Vegetable), he has published 14 more books. The Golden Glove was on the bestseller list for months; the film adaptation by Fatih Akin screened in competition at the Berlinale. In 2016, the author was honored with the Wilhelm Raabe Literature Prize. His novels Es ist immer so schön mit dir and Ein Sommer in Niendorf were nominated for the German Book Prize. Zauberberg was published most recently

No Money No Happiness No Gas
Heinz Strunk once again invites us into a world in which there is much to marvel at and laugh about, although it is by and large full of pain and shivers. There are reports of quite strange illnesses, disturbing occurrences in the house next door in the suburban housing estate, abysmally miserable family stories and couple tragedies.

"On the occasion of "Kein Geld Kein Glück Kein Sprit", the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung called for Strunk to be awarded the Büchner Prize. This is fitting, because Georg Büchner also dedicated his short life to short texts. A master of the pamphlet, the drama fragment, the pamphlet. But if the success of Heinz Strunk's short stories should lead to a few authors who have not yet written bestsellers daring to convince their potential publishers that this or that beautiful miniature does not necessarily have to be boiled down to a watery alphabet soup in order to be suitable for publication: Then it would be better to award Georg Büchner the Heinz Strunk Prize posthumously. Only then would his life's work be sufficiently honored. "Süddeutsche Zeitung

Count Fauchi and the missing dentures
An ancient vampire without teeth? That sounds like a nightmare - and that's exactly what it is for Count Fauchi! Without his teeth, the ancient undead is completely lost, because without them he can no longer suck blood. Together with the intrepid werewolf Ylva, the count embarks on an adventurous search for his tusks across Transylvania.

"Educational mission? - Zero!" Heinz Strunk says that children's books can be written off the cuff, and he doesn't think much about his young readers either. But his new book "Count Fauchi" about a decrepit vampire may well sell a million copies. The time
