"A brilliantly realized story... At the deepest level, Mr. Grass
resumes here the underlying theme of his famous first novel, 'The
Tin Drum'--the survival of individual human qualities in this age
of wars and state-directed politics." -- The New York Times Book
Review "The strongest most inventic writer to have emerged in
Germany since 1945. Much of what is active in the Germany of Krupp
and the Munich beer halls lies in this man's ribald keeping."
