My Century

"Soldiers, housewives, cops, journalists, grandparents, activists, a professor, a dirigible pilot, a businesswoman and ravers in the Berlin Love Parade all contribute their little share to a mosaic of the German nation in war and peace. The result is not a novel so much as a scrapbook of commentary, because what drives you through isn't story or theme--it's rank curiosity about what Gnter Grass will have to say about some juicy year."Grass, Günter is the author of 'My Century', published 1999 under ISBN 9780151004966 and ISBN 015100496X.
