Günter Grass - The tin drum (audio drama)The Tin Drum, one of the great novels of the twentieth century, became a runaway best-seller and catapulted its young author, i.e. Gunter Grass, to the forefront of world literature. Along with the book's fiftieth anniversary comes this new translation by Breon Mitchell, one that is faithful to Grass's style and rhythm, restores omissions, and reflects more fully the complexity of the original work. This is the story of Oskar Matzerath, a dwarfish hunchback detained in a mental hospital, convicted of a murder he did not commit.
