Peeling the Onion - by Günter Grass (Paperback)

Peeling the Onion is a memoir by Nobel Prize-winning author Günter Grass, offering an intimate look into his early life from boyhood in a cramped two-room apartment in Danzig to the late 1950s.

The book reveals Grass at his most vulnerable, sharing experiences of youthful bravado, postwar Germany's rubble, wild love affairs, and Paris in the early fifties.

This memoir caused great controversy when it was published in Germany but has been praised for its literary beauty by The New Yorker.

Readers will find striking poetic imagery throughout the book, making it a must-read for fans of Grass's work and those interested in historical nonfiction.
