This handbook reveals every facet of this author, visual artist, and public figure's work for the first time. Grass, who has always met with controversy, is regarded as one of Germany's most important postwar authors, especially abroad. This volume provides a current, clearly structured examination of his life's work, its reception, and existing scholarship, offering new perspectives on the author and his oeuvre within their historical context.
