Thank you, Peter Pank - Book (Klaus N. Frick)

Description

A subcultural journey back in time to 1986. Klaus N. Frick, "perhaps the best-known and certainly one of the most amusing writers of the German punk scene" (Flight 13), tells the story of a small-town punk between drinking, hitchhiking, scrounging, demos, and plenty of other crude jokes and stressful situations. Originally published in ZAP, here collected as a book for the first time.

"...an equally entertaining and authentic portrayal of the existence and attitude to life of the punk movement in Germany between 1977 and 1986. Well done, a bit crude and also a bit punk in the editing."

Arne Rauscher, in: ekz-informationsdienst (Einkaufszentrale der Bibliotheken)

“Anyone who wants to know what the confused-naive Swabian punk kid experienced in Germany in the mid-80s should definitely get this. And if I now write that this book is the most important description of punk life in 80s Germany in novel form, that's not praise for an author of this magazine, but my honest opinion. And given the fanzine Enpunkt published by Frick and what the gentleman writes there, it's always interesting to ponder what of Peter Pank's experiences are autobiographical and what is pure fiction...”

“I am an author of several books myself, and I could perfectly recognize myself and my past here. A lot has already been written on this topic, not always so intoxicating and mostly condescending. This was not the case here at all; all in all, a great book that I gladly recommend.”

“If you want to know what the 80s were really like, you should read this and you'll be close.”

“I've really been waiting a long time for this, finally the awesome stories from ZAP are compiled into a book. Ultra-ingenious and absolutely worth reading, though a bit short. An hour and a half in the bathtub and you're done. Never has bathing been as nice as it is today.”
