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

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

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

Arne Rauscher, in: ekz-informationsdienst (Purchasing Center of Libraries)

"If you want to know what the confused, naive Swabian punk kid experienced in Germany in the mid-80s, you should definitely grab this. And if I now write that this book is the most important description of punk life in Germany in the eighties in novel form, then that is not flattery for an author of this issue, but my honest opinion. And given Frick's fanzine Enpunkt and what the man writes there, it is also always interesting to ponder what is autobiographical about Peter Pank's experiences and what is pure fiction..."

"I am an author of several books myself and could easily recognize myself and my past here. A lot has already been written on this topic, not always so exhilarating and mostly condescending. This was not the case here in any way, 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."

Collaps, in: Scumfuck Tradition No. 40.

"I've really waited a long time for this, finally the cool stories from the Zap are summarized as a book. Ultra brilliant and absolutely worth reading, but also a bit short. An hour and a half in the bathtub and you're done. Never before has bathing been as nice as today."
