In the organizer's words:

As always, Heinz Strunk's work comes thick and fast.

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 amusing 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. Gathered household robots devoutly watch a puppet show, a woman just wants to have her nose fixed and ends up with the wrong plastic surgeon, and retired couples go to war with each other at the fish buffet in the luxury resort in Maspalomas in the off-season.
