A critical examination of Grass's work offers overwhelming evidence that Cat and Mouse and Dog Years are part of a unified structure begun by The Tin Drum and that they continue to explore the same key figures, themes, and symbols. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book.

The Tin Drum,
By
This review is from: Danzig Trilogy: The Tin Drum, Cat and Mouse, Dog Years (Hardcover)
I can't say that it's the kind of book I read without putting down. It took me four years to read it in German, it was a project from which I learned more German, to like Gunther Grass and to look at midgets or short people in a different way. For me they now stand for Oskar, the main character of the book a boy who shatters windows and glasses of his teacher, makes the Nazis dance to the wrong tune, loves nurses and much more. It's a wonderful book. I recently read a list of the 50 favorite books of Germans. This one was number 48 for them. It's close to number one for me. It's a wonderful book -whether it takes you a week or 4 years.

This review is from: The Danzig Trilogy: The Tin Drum, Cat and Mouse, Dog Years (Hardcover)
I have read the book in the original language (German)and I couldn't put it down until I was done.I dont know if it is just as good translated, but I love his choice of words and the pictures he is painting with them. I mainly read the book, because I am interested in the history of that time,place and the people. If that is what you are looking for, this book is a must.
