#GünterGrass

Now that I'm finally reading THE TIN DRUM, it is so abundantly clear how much Salman Rushdie ripped this template off for MIDNIGHT'S CHILDREN -- to decidedly lesser effect. Gunter Grass clearly wrote the more original and more provocative novel. This book is all over the place, but in a good way. Not only was Grass the o.g. lit dude to tie a protagonist into a nation's history like this, but Grass is far wilder, more inventive, and more poignant than Rushdie ever could be.

I'm slowly rebuilding my #rare #book #eBay store this summer, one book a day over the next three months. Today, a #1stAmericanPrinting of #GunterGrass' 1977 #TheFlounder, in which this famed post-Nazi German writer does a modern translation of a Medieval folk tale, which he called an "ode to pregnancy" but that many women at the time interpreted as an anti-feminist screed.

Belle nécrologie pour l'écrivain #MartinWalser, de #PierreDeshusses dans #LeMonde :
Avec la mort de Martin Walser, l’#Allemagne perd l’un de ses plus grands #écrivains de l’après-guerre. L’auteur de « Mort d’un critique » et « Des mariés à Philippsburg », l’égal de #GünterGrass ou d’#HeinrichBöll, est décédé dans la nuit du 27 au 28 juillet à #Überlingen, près du #lacdeConstance, qu’il affectionnait. Il avait 96 ans.

Mort de l’écrivain allemand #MartinWalser à 96 ans
Romancier majeur de l’après-guerre au même titre que #GünterGrass ou #HeinrichBöll, même s’il n’a jamais atteint leur notoriété, Martin Walser a été accusé de vouloir refouler le passé nazi de son pays
