Review:

"There is a German verb, grassieren, which means 'to be rampant, rife, prevalent, to prevail.' The word might as well derive from Gunter Grass, rampant with bravura showmanship, rife with impudent trickery, and, in the end, prevailing.-The Washington Post "The volume is Grass's magical mystery history tour, a mix of fiction, reminiscence, and nonfiction, an idiosyncratic time machine."-The Boston Globe
