A hunchback recollects events in Danzig before, during and after
the Hitler era. Peopled by grotesques, this tour de force unravels
the skeins of recent German history to ultimately poignant effect.
(Kirkus UK)
THE TIN DRUM presents Hitler's rise and fall through the eyes of
the dwarfish narrator whose magic powers become symbolic of the
dark forces dominating the German nation in the period. Like Thomas
Mann's DOCTOR FAUSTUS, Grass's novel explores the dark roots of
power and creativity. An early advocate of 'magic realism'. Gunter
Grass is the most powerful and celebrated novelist to appear in
post-war Germany. His home city of Danzig is a powerful presence in
this novel.
