Grass, Günter (Wilhelm)

Grass, Günter (Wilhelm)
(n. 16 oct. 1927, Danzig, Polonia).

Novelista, poeta y dramaturgo alemán. Grass participó en la juventud hitleriana, se alistó a los 16 años y, herido en combate, fue hecho prisionero de guerra. Su extraordinaria primera novela, El tambor de hojalata (1959), le granjeó fama internacional, y se transformó en el vocero literario de la generación alemana que creció en la época nazi. Este libro, junto con El gato y el ratón (1961) y Años de perro (1963), constituyen una trilogía ambientada en Danzig (actualmente Gdansk, Polonia). Sus otras obras, todas sobre temas políticos, son El rodaballo (1977); Malos presagios (1992), que trata sobre la precaria relación entre Polonia y la Alemania reunificada; Un vasto campo (1995), que es controversial por expresar la visión de que la reunificación constituyó un error, y Mi siglo (1999). Ese mismo año obtuvo el Premio Nobel de Literatura.
