The final work of Nobel Prize-winning writer Gunter Grass - a witty
and elegiac series of meditations on writing, growing old, and the
world. Suddenly, in spite of the trials of old age, and with the
end in sight, everything seems possible again: love letters,
soliloquies, scenes of jealousy, swan songs, social satire, and
moments of happiness. Only an ageing artist who had once more
cheated death could get to work with such wisdom, defiance and wit.
A wealth of touching stories is condensed into artful miniatures.
In a striking interplay of poetry, lyric prose and drawings, Grass
creates his final, major work of art. A moving farewell gift, a
sensual, melancholy summation of a life fully lived.

The Color of the Snow, German writer Rudiger Kremer's first novel,
is a most unusual and haunting work of art. Carefully constructed
and elegantly written, The Color of the Snow consists of twenty-one
texts which spiral around the character of Jakob, who first appears
as a seemingly retarded boy born during World War II. The texts
include stories, a script for a film, a radio play, a short
essay--a tour de force of narrative possibilities. The twenty-one
parts are interrelated and form a narrative, but their relationship
to the "story" and to each other is intentionally complex: they
circle Jakob, they reflect him in his shifting shapes (it begins to
appear that he may well be the author of the texts we are reading),
but what is at the center remains a mystery. Mysterious too is the
alchemy Kremer employs to create a stunningly moving novel out of
intellectual challenges.
