具体描述
"Peeling the Onion" is a searingly honest memoir that evokes Grass' modest upbringing in Danzig, his time as a boy soldier fighting the Russians and concludes with the writing of his masterpiece, "The Tin Drum", in Paris. Grass' parents ran a corner shop, but his mother, whom he adored, encouraged him towards books and music. Like most of his peers, he joined the Hitler Youth and in 1944, when he was just 17, he was sent to the Eastern front with the Waffen SS and found himself facing Russian tanks and machine guns. Recovering from shrapnel wounds in a military hospital, he had the good fortune to be taken prisoner by the Americans. In the aftermath of the war, following a stint as a miner, Grass survived by trading on the black market and resolved to become an artist, eventually enrolling at the Academy of Arts in Dusseldorf. While living as an artist in Berlin with his first wife Anna, a ballet dancer, he started to concentrate on writing poetry. It was after the couple moved to Paris that the first sentence of the novel he had been determined to write and that would make his reputation came to him: 'Granted: I am an inmate of a mental hospital'. "Peeling the Onion" is the story of a remarkable life and is, without question, one of Gunter Grass' finest works.

【读品】罗豫/文 德国人反思历史的诚恳态度是让不少民族相形见绌的。久闻德国文学大师君特·格拉斯在其自传《剥洋葱》中，讲述自己参加纳粹党卫军的经历，展现了一个知识分子的道德勇气。浏览网上铺天盖地的媒体报道，忍不住隐隐猜测格拉斯是否真的在战争中犯下什么滔天罪行。...
张爱玲用瓜子壳比喻岁月，格拉斯就拿洋葱当回忆。回忆总是隔着柔化镜的，美则更美，丑则马赛克掉了。比起干巴巴见不得人的记忆，回忆的确要讨好的多。
在长达380页的阅读中，我始终处于一种颇为尴尬的困惑状态，虽然本书的封面上已经注明了这23万8千字的纪实性质，但是，它们给我的感觉，却比任何一部虚构作品更为虚假（但愿，我的说法不至于冒犯到作者）。如果我再去重复“生活远比小说更精彩”之类的陈词滥调，也许是对作者真...
