In the organizer's words:

At the first edition of Spätschicht this year, Hugo Tepest will provide insights into his essay Sind Penisse real? It deals with transition, self-perception, penises and society. The reading and subsequent discussion will be moderated by Lee Everett Thieler.

"Ever since I can remember, I was convinced that I couldn't be a man without a penis." Hugo is in his mid-thirties when he begins his transition. In the chaos of his new masculinity, he searches for answers to what penises mean to him, to his body, to his self-image. For who he was, who he is and who he can be. In society and in bed. To find answers, Hugo Tepest talks to people - with and without penises - about fears and power, about cultural history and its meaning, about sexuality, size and fantasies and writes disarmingly unabashedly about a body part that is much more than that.
