From the Nobel Prize-winning author of My Century and The Tin Drum, a novel of broad historical proportions set in Berlin during the years of German reunification.
Two old men roam through Berlin observing life in the former German Democratic Republic after the fall of the Wall in 1989. Theo Wuttke, a former East German functionary, is a keen observer and a gifted speaker. Ludwig Hoftaller is a mid-level spy whose loyalties shift with each new regime. Together, both men see what the future is bringing as they try to save what they can from the past and understand the meaning of being German.
A complex and challenging exploration of what Germany's reunification will mean-for Germans, for Europe, and for the world-Too Far Afield is a masterwork from one of Europe's greatest writers. Written with the wit, fantasy, literary erudition, and political acerbity for which Grass is celebrated, it is a deeply human story laced with pain and humor in equal measure.

Too Far Afield
I am a big fan of Gunter Grass, and have read nearly everything he has written that has been translated in to English, including his essays. I count some of his novels like "the Tin Drum" & "Dog Years" amongst my favourite reads of all time. This book, however, is not among them. Long, drawn-out, meandering, heavy-handed... I was quite excited to read this book and am left feeling quite disappointed.
