Items related to Dog Years
Set in three parts, this novel moves from the 1920s to the 1950s, following the lives of Eduard Amsel, his blood brother Walter Matern, and Prinz, the black shepherd who is also the FÜhrer's favorite dog. Amsel builds lifelike, mechanically marching SA men, Matern practices a strange revenge on Nazi criminals, and Prinz deserts his master because even a dog can have enough. Exhibiting all the brilliance, inventiveness and narrative daring that Grass is famous for, this is a splendid evocation of an apocalyptic period and its startling aftermath.

Review:
"Grass is one of the few great writers in Europe today" (Sunday Telegraph)
"Günter Grass releases, against the grain of history, a troop of obsessional characters, armed often with magical or at least disconcerting powers, who gnaw through the madness of the Third Reich and the chaos of the collapse, into the complacent fabric of modern West Germany" (Neal Ascherson New Statesman)
"Forty years of twentieth-century German history observed through a massive fable about men and dogs. Mad, Gothic, repetitive and bitterly funny" (Michael Ratcliffe Sunday Times)
