VONNE ENDLICHKAIT - Ein Günter-Grass-Abend
Once again, looking back, he rises to greatness in a small form. Political matters meet the personal; he addresses decay and the approaching end, accepting death as a part of life, yet hoping for another spring, counting the cuckoo's calls... With wit and self-deprecating distance.
