Grass served in the German military in World War II and published his breakthrough anti-Nazi novel, The Tin Drum, in 1959.
His works are frequently considered to have a left-wing political dimension, and Grass was an active supporter of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). The Tin Drum was adapted as a film of the same name, which won both the 1979 Palme d'Or and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The Swedish Academy awarded him the Nobel Prize in Literature, praising him as a writer "whose frolicsome black fables portray the forgotten face of history".
His literature is commonly categorised as part of the German artistic movement known as Vergangenheitsbewaltigung, roughly translated as "coming to terms with the past."
Few famous quotes from Gunter Grass:
"I'm always astonished by a forest. It makes me realise that the fantasy of nature is much larger than my own fantasy. I still have things to learn."
"Everyone is born into a certain era. I wouldn't want to see anyone faced with the circumstances that prevailed at the time, when there were few or no alternatives."
"I have found that words that are loaded with pathos and create a seductive euphoria are apt to promote nonsense."
