On the day of its release, Coco Putz will read from her debut novel BABES 3000, which tells the story of a schoolgirl company of a somewhat different kind: Yvonne and Miriam are sixteen and already feel like they need to make up for their lost youth.

Coco Putz, Babes 3000
After the restrictions of the pandemic year 2020, they have only one goal in life: not a second of boredom. But a glamorous lifestyle costs money. As children of the Internet age who grew up with unsolicited dick pics, the friends know exactly what their capital is. They start meeting older men, ‘daddies’. They want to earn 3,000 euros, then it's over.
In conversation with her publisher Christiane Frohmann, Coco Putz shares the story of how the book came to be with the audience. Spoiler alert: it all began at Lettrétage.
