| Yhteenveto: | The Nazi period’s influence on Günter Grass is evident throughout his work, from the The Tin Drum, the first major novel about Nazi Germany, to his controversial poem denouncing Germany’s sale of a submarine to Israel. It is also evident throughout his life, from his support of the former resistance fighter Willy Brandt to his activism in favor of the Roma. The Holocaust is likely one of the main driving forces in his work. However, the role that it has played in Grass’ work and his own perspective on it have changed over the course of his career. Whereas the Danzig Trilogy and novels like Too Far Afield have led some to accuse Grass of being anti-German, his most recent books, such as Crabwalk, take a more nuanced view of history. How is one to reconcile these different versions of the author, from the SPD activist to the former Waffen-SS soldier? Olivier Mannoni attempts to answer these questions in this article. |
