Peeling the Onion by Günter Grass

Peeling the Onion by Günter Grass

Peeling the Onion is a searingly honest account of Grass' modest upbringing in Danzig, his time as a boy soldier fighting the Russians, and the writing of his masterpiece, The Tin Drum, in Paris. It is a remarkable autobiography and, without question, one of Gunter Grass' finest works. By the Nobel Prize-winning author of The Tin Drum.

A memoir of rare literary beauty * New Yorker *
As a writer, his influence still looms large, and Peeling the Onion is a reminder why. It has that same imaginative accuracy that made The Tin Drum a bestseller * The Times *
An ingenious but treacherous text that glides constantly between past and present, first and third person, memory and imagination * Evening Standard *
This subtle and expertly written book is really a memoir about forgetting -- Sebastian Faulks * Sunday Times *
