| | 1. |  | Peeling the Onion
from Harvest Books
Price: $9.00
Customer Review:
A nice way of finding out who this author is and how he started on the road to the nobel prize . The early years in Danzig are fascinating and his experiences in war frightening in the extreme. Not being able to ride a bicycle probably saved his life and watching a huge Russian tank roll at him in... more info

| | 2. |  | The Tin Drum
from Vintage
Price: $10.85
Customer Review:
On the outside, Oscar Matzerath, the narrator of THE TIN DRUM, appears as a special-needs (autistic, maybe) little person (midget) who processes his emotions by pounding on a tin drum. But in his narrative, Oscar proclaims himself to be a literary genius who chose to stop growing at three in... more info

| | 3. |  | Crabwalk
from Harvest Books
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
I was interested in reading "Crabwalk" after Gunter Grass' piece in the New Yorker last year about his own ties to the Third Reich.
This novel is about a little known event, the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff. Many years ago, I worked in a hospital during the summers for extra money. I was... more info

| | 5. |  | The Flounder (Helen & Kurt Wolff Book)
from Harvest Books
Price: $17.60
Customer Review:
Truly an epic journey. The story combines many themes and just as many characters. One must read about half to get a grasp on the reins and after that, it's fun. Cooking and copulation play large roles. All the talk about soup and the endless mushrooms are fantastic. Throughout the text are poems... more info

| | 6. |  | Dog Years
from Harcourt, Brace & World
Customer Review:
I am not going to attempt to describe Dog Years other than to say it is a stunning work by a brilliant writer at the top of his game. It should be required reading for anyone seeking to understand the German psyche in the 20th century. Some may find the style challenging, but there's a method to... more info

| | 7. |  | My Century: A Novel
from Harcourt
Price: $31.00
Customer Review:
How does a cultured society slip into unspeakable brutality and then return to the civilized world? Grass tells how, in a series of brief portraits, each told from a different perspective. Nothing I've read gives such a viceral feeling of what it was like to live through this. I'll never forget... more info

| | 8. | [no image] | Two States-One Nation?
from Harcourt
Customer Review:
In 1990, when the Federal Republic was going about taking over the GDR, Grass voiced his concerns over the reunification of Germany. Grass was opposed due to the two World Wars that Germany started. His suggestion was that confederation with the German states was better for Europe than the... more info

| | 9. |  | The Rat
from Harcourt Brace Jovanovich
Customer Review:
There is almost too much going on in the story. Grass' creativity is astounding, with the she-rat and the space ship, but portions of the plot with Grimm fairytale characters are somewhat annoying. Oskar turns up, along with others. It's difficult to imagine someone staying with this book long... more info

| | 10. |  | Too Far Afield
from Harvest Books
Price: $17.00
Customer Review:
One of my favorite moments in Grass's difficult, often ponderous novel takes place early in the book, in a McDonald's restaurant around the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Eager to avoid a seventieth-birthday celebration thrown by his young followers, Theo Wuttke and his sometimes cohort,... more info
