Gunter Grass is Germany's best-known and internationally most
successful living author, from his first novel The Tin Drum to his
recent controversial autobiography. He is known for his tireless
social and political engagement with the issues that have shaped
post-War Germany: the difficult legacy of the Nazi past, the Cold
War and the arms race, environmentalism, unification and racism. He
was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1999. This Companion
offers the widest coverage of Grass's oeuvre across the range of
media in which he works, including literature, television and
visual arts. Throughout, there is particular emphasis on Grass's
literary style, the creative personality which inhabits all his
work, and the impact on his reputation of revelations about his
early involvement with Nazism. The volume sets out, in a fresh and
lively fashion, the fundamentals that students and readers need in
order to understand Grass and his individual works.
