with Günter Grass on Jul 2, 2007
Günter Wilhelm Grass is a Nobel Prize-winning German author.
He was born in the Free City of Danzig Since 1945, he has lived in (the now former) West Germany, but in his fiction he frequently returns to the Danzig of his childhood.
He is best known for his first novel, The Tin Drum, a key text in European magic realism. His works frequently have a strong (left wing, socialist) political dimension, and Grass has been an active supporter of the Social Democratic Party of Germany. In 2006, Grass caused a controversy with his belated disclosure of Waffen-SS membership during the later stages of World War II. Source - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunter_Grass
