Summary
Gunter Grass: Born from the Head
Born from the Head, this book by Grass, is also a paradoxical work. Each reader will have to judge for himself whether it is a novel, a short story, an essay, a diary or a screenplay. The reader will also have to answer the question for himself - not for the first time - whether this is a book for Germans or a book for all of us. What is beyond doubt is the fact that this text is a small masterpiece of contemporary prose expression, a book of liberation from the monumentalism of Lumbur and the formal rigor of the Meeting in Teltge. And that it is one of those short and witty texts that we love the most.
