In this new novel Günter Grass examines a subject that has long been taboo - the sufferings of the Germans during the Second World War. He explores the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff, the deadliest maritime disaster of all time, and the repercussions upon three generations of a German family.
Günter Grass, born in Danzig, Germany in 1927, is one of Germany's most celebrated writers. A man of remarkable versatility: novelist, poet, playwright, essayist and graphic artist, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1999. He died in 2015. Krishna Winston is professor and chair of the German Studies Department in the Wesleyan University and the principal English-language translator for the works of the Nobel Prize-winning German author Günter Grass. She also translated Peter Handke's Don Juan.
