Cat and Mouse
by Grass, Gunter
Set in Danzig, Germany during World War II and centered on the narrator's vivid recollection of a boyhood scene, this marvelously entertaining, powerful and at times very funny narrative explores the serious undercurrent of what it means to be human in an age of wars and rebellions staged for the world's political theatre. As relevant today as it was when it was first written in 1961, Cat and Mouse was written directly after the publication of Grass's famous work The Tin Drum.
