Günter Grass (1927–2015) was Germany’s most celebrated post-war writer. He was a creative artist of remarkable versatility: novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, graphic artist. Grass’s first novel, The Tin Drum, is widely regarded as one of the finest novels of the twentieth century, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1999.At once a satire of post-1989 politics and a love story, it shows two sides of the author: firebrand and mellowed, humane observer... <i>The Call of The Toad</i> shows Grass as one of our greatest living storytellers
