Summary
A dwarf drummer found guilty of a crime he did not commit writes his memoirs from a mental hospital in postwar Germany
Amazon.com description: Product Description: (Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
Acclaimed as the greatest German novel written since the end of World War II, The Tin Drum is the autobiography of thirty-year-old Oskar Matzerath, who has lived through the long Nazi nightmare and who, as the novel begins, is being held in a mental institution. Willfully stunting his growth at three feet for many years, wielding his tin drum and piercing scream as anarchistic weapons, he provides a profound yet hilarious perspective on both German history and the human condition in the modern world.
Introduction by John Reddick; Translation by Ralph Manheim
