This manuscript argues for the importance of Gunter Grass as a
political thinker in addition to his status as a novelist and
public intellectual, capable of forming ethical responses to
contemporary issues like neoliberalism and place of the petit
bourgeoisie in social life. I define Grass's trajectory as a
thinker through his novels and speeches. Primarily, I draw
attention to the role memory plays in Grass's thought: that his
work represented an intellectual and aesthetic response to the role
Nazism continued to play in West German politics in the post war
era. To Grass, Nazism represented a resurgent threat unaddressed
following the end of World War II. Later, Grass amended his concept
of memory politics to address neoliberal capitalism, reiterating
his radicalism and affirming the need for German society to resist
the rise of extreme ideologies.
