Autobiography reimagined as a conversation between siblings, this is a fascinating and inventive account of Gunter Grass’ life and his writing. Fictionalized versions of his children sit down and recall memories of their father-his string of wives and the effect his art had on all their lives. These memories are intertwined with the story of a dear family friend and her (magically captured) camera that could see the truth behind the photos it took. One doesn’t have to be a fan of Grass’ or even familiar with his work to enjoy this captivating blending of fiction and memoir.
