In spite of the trials of old age, and with the end in sight, suddenly everything seems possible again: love letters, soliloquies, scenes of jealousy, swan songs, social satire, and moments of happiness crowd onto the page. Only an aging artist who has once more cheated death can set 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, the Nobel Prize-winning author creates his final major work of art. A moving farewell gift, a sensual, melancholy summation of a life fully lived.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C956694</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C956694</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Grass, Günter, 1927-2015]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/956694037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peeling the onion]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1688485</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1688485</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[ger]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Grass, Günter, 1927-2015]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1688485037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle/><language>ger</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crabwalk]]></title><description><![CDATA[Tells the story of the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff, a former cruiseship turned refugee carrier, by a Soviet submarine in January 1945.

She was sitting under the tree in her gift-wrapped cage, amid fleece-lined slippers, and hand-colored map, a handsome engraving. That's how the rat came into Grass's life and imagination. Dream alternates with reality in this story within a story within a story. Of Grass and his Christmas rat. Of a group of liberated women on a research ship in the Baltic Sea, complaining, lamenting, to the clatter of their knitting needles. Of our old friend the tin drummer, Oscar Matzerath, now sixty, balding, plagued by prostate troubles, and head of a major video corporation whose motto is: "We are creating the future." At his Grandmother Anna Koljaiczek's 107th birthday party, he shows a video of the re-greening of Germany carried out by characters from the pages of the Brothers Grimm - Rumpelstiltskin, The Frog King - and the Brothers Grimm themselves, now ministers of the environment in the Bonn government.But the rat intrudes in all these stories with stories of her own, challenging our narrator in his dreams and in his realities, arguing with him, interrupting, threatening. He in turn fights to preserve the human present by elaborating on his memories of the past, as he conjures up visions of a terrifying future in apocalyptic images that make inspired reading.Here Grass baroque, Grass sensuous, Grass the witty observer and interpreter of both the human and animal condition.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1615320</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1615320</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Grass, Günter, 1927-2015]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 1987 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1615320037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Headbirths, Or, The Germans Are Dying Out]]></title><description><![CDATA[Harm and Dorte Peters, the quintessential couple, are on vacation in Asia.

On his third birthday Oskar resolves to stunt his own growth at three feet, and on the same day he receives his first tin drum. Wielding his drum and piercing scream as anarchic weapons, he draws forth memories from the past as well as judgements about the horrors, injustices, and eccentricities he observes through the long nightmare of the Nazi era. Oskar participates in the German post-war economic miracle - working variously in the black market, as an artist's model, in a troupe of travelling musicians - yet he remains haunted by the deaths of his parents, afflicted by his responsibility for past sins.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1663150</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1663150</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Grass, Günter, 1927-2015]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 1962 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1663150037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Tin Drum]]></title><description><![CDATA[Bitter and impassioned, this novel delivers a scathing dissection of the years from 1925-1955 through the eyes of Oskar, the dwarf whose manic beating on the toy of his childhood fantastically counterpoints the horrors of Germany and Poland under the Nazis.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1823047</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1823047</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Grass, Günter, 1927-2015]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1823047037</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the Diary of A Snail]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1653718</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1653718</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Grass, Günter, 1927-2015]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 1974 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1653718037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cat and Mouse]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1702917</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1702917</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Grass, Günter, 1927-2015]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 1963 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1702917037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item></channel></rss>
