Even bad books are books and therefore sacred.
German writer Günter Grass (born October 16, 1927) is best known for what is called the Danzig Trilogy, made up of The Tin Drum (his first novel, published in 1959), Cat and Mouse (1961), and Dog Years (1963). He focused on the rise of Nazism and the aftermath of World War II (he had been drafted into the Waffen-SS during the war—a fact he did not reveal until a few years before his death). The Tin Drum, which was adapted into a movie, won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1980, while Grass was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1999.
