🎧 Günter Grass is one of the greats of German literature. A Nobel Prize winner, he was active as a novelist ("The Tin Drum"), poet, playwright and artist. Earlier this year, De Gruyter published the first handbook covering all phases of the writer's life and oeuvre.

Here we speak to Christoph Jürgensen (Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg) about Grass' continued relevance for the readers, students and researchers of today (in German): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1G6IidlkTY
