Mein Jahrhundert by Günter Grass
A mosaic of one hundred short vignettes, each representing a year of the twentieth century, that blends personal memory, fiction and historical reportage to trace the moral, political and social ruptures of Germany and Europe; the pieces move between intimate recollection and sharp, often ironic commentary on events from World War I aftermath through Nazism, World War II, the Cold War and reunification, interrogating guilt, responsibility and the persistence of memory while using surreal images and drawings to underscore the strangeness and violence of modern history.
