About this product
Product Information
In his controversial autobiography Peeling the Onion, G nter Grass described his life between the ages of twelve and thirty, before he had achieved worldwide fame as a writer with The Tin Drum. Now, in The Box, he finds a means of continuing the narrative from the early 1960s to the early 1990s through the involvement of his eight children from four different relationships. They are cunningly introduced as semi-fictionalised puppets yielding to their father s eightieth birthday wish that they should gather to record on tape their collective impressions of him. By standing back in this way from his own autobiography, Grass manages to distance himself from his monumental public image as a political campaigner and writer of contested fiction. Claiming that his children are, like it or not, part of his life and character, he emphasises instead the most private part of his life and, in nine short chapters, opens it up to the public gaze. Disappointments, jealousies and feelings of neglect are chalked up by his progeny against a father who was often away or otherwise absented himself on account of his compulsion to write. A general family harmony is, however, in evidence, and ascribed
