Nothing he has written since 1963, when he completed his first three novels-- The Danzig Trilogy , that is, which is made up of The Tin Drum , Cat and Mouse , and Dog Years --is memorable, and a lot of it is bad.
But he told us that he could not drum up much interest in or money for such a purpose from Washington, partly, he thought, because these countries had dictatorial governments.
If The Tin Drum has a negative take on Nazism, it is expressed obliquely, through explosive bursts of irreverent language, and by dint of the fact that, in 1959, Grass talks about things such as Kristallnacht --something few other German writers did at the time, at least not so boldly.
