PRAISE FOR CRABWALK "In a mere 216 pages, German author G nter Grass has delivered a blockbuster novel, shed a reputation for resting on 40-year-old laurels, reconciled left and right factions long at odds over the Nazi past and exposed a World War II tragedy virtually buried for half a century."-- Los Angeles Times "Grass's blockbuster ... refocuses attention on his nation's Nazi past and exposes a World War II tragedy buried for half a century."-- New York Post "By far the best Grass book in years."-- Die Welt (Germany) "The images of the sinking ship are more thrilling and astounding than the Titanic ."-- Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten (Germany), PRAISE FOR CRABWALK "In a mere 216 pages, German author Gnter Grass has delivered a blockbuster novel, shed a reputation for resting on 40-year-old laurels, reconciled left and right factions long at odds over the Nazi past and exposed a World War II tragedy virtually buried for half a century."-- Los Angeles Times "Grass's blockbuster ... refocuses attention on his nation's Nazi past and exposes a World War II tragedy buried for half a century."-- New York Post "By far the best Grass book in years."-- Die Welt (Germany) "The images of the sinking ship are more thrilling and astounding than the Titanic ."-- Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten (Germany), In Crabwalk, Mr. Grass addresses two other long-buried wartime memories, that of Germans who were expelled from or fled territories once under Nazi occupation and, more specifically, the sinking by a Soviet submarine of a German ship carrying thousands of German refugees. As always, though, he is most interested in the impact of a distant memory on attitudes today. And he warns here of the dangers posed by repressed memory. - Alan Riding , PRAISE FOR CRABWALK "In a mere 216 pages, German author Günter Grass has delivered a blockbuster novel, shed a reputation for resting on 40-year-old laurels, reconciled left and right factions long at odds over the Nazi past and exposed a World War II tragedy virtually buried for half a century."-- Los Angeles Times "Grass's blockbuster ... refocuses attention on his nation's Nazi past and exposes a World War II tragedy buried for half a century."-- New York Post "By far the best Grass book in years."-- Die Welt (Germany) "The images of the sinking ship are more thrilling and astounding than the Titanic ."-- Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten (Germany), PRAISE FORCRABWALK "In a mere 216 pages, German author GÜnter Grass has delivered a blockbuster novel, shed a reputation for resting on 40-year-old laurels, reconciled left and right factions long at odds over the Nazi past and exposed a World War II tragedy virtually buried for half a century."--Los Angeles Times "Grass's blockbuster ... refocuses attention on his nation's Nazi past and exposes a World War II tragedy buried for half a century."--New York Post "By far the best Grass book in years."--Die Welt(Germany) "The images of the sinking ship are more thrilling and astounding than theTitanic."--Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten(Germany), In 1945, a Soviet submarine sunk the German refugee ship Wilhelm Gustoff, resulting in 9000 deaths-the worst maritime disaster ever. Grass here reimagines not just the event but the consequences for postwar Germany. Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. , In a novel that has already attracted attention on both sides of the Atlantic, Nobelist Grass (Too Far Afield) employs a compelling vehicle for his latest excursion into Germany's tortured past. The Wilhelm Gustloff was a Nazi cruise ship refitted to rescue German refugees from the approaching Russian army in the waning days of WWII. The vessel was torpedoed by a Russian sub in the Baltic Sea, resulting in the deaths of 9,000 people and becoming the largest maritime disaster of the 20th century. Grass's unlikely narrator is second-rate journalist Paul Pokriefke, whose mother gave birth to him while the ship was collapsing. Pokriefke's irreverent narrative, couched in colloquial language, moves back and forth through the history of the incident, starting with the story of Gustloff, a Nazi functionary who was shot in 1936 by a Jewish medical student named David Frankfurter. Grass also weaves in details about the Russian sub commander, Aleksandr Marinesko, but the decidedly modern touch is the inclusion of Pokriefke's son, Konrad, an unbalanced loner who becomes deeply involved with the Web site dedicated to commemorating Gustloff's "martyrdom" and the vessel Hitler named after him. Though the elliptical narration and multiple subplots intentionally impede dramatic momentum, this is one of Grass's most accessible novels, and the closing chapters about the rescue of Pokriefke's mother are simply riveting. The final irony is the fate of Konrad, who, in search of revenge, goes after a man posing as Frankenfurter on the Web site. Grass has covered many of these issues in earlier novels, but this time he addresses the suffering of German civilians during and after the conflict. A writer who refuses to avert his eyes from unpleasant truths, he remains an eloquent explorer of his country's troubled 20th-century history. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Synopsis
Gunter Grass has been wrestling with Germany's past for decades now, but no book since "The Tin Drum" has generated as much excitement as this engrossing account of the sinking of the "Wilhelm Gustloff." A German cruise ship turned refugee carrier, it was attacked by a Soviet submarine in January 1945. Some 9,000 people went down in the Baltic Sea, making it the deadliest maritime disaster of all time.Born to an unwed mother on a lifeboat the night of the attack, Paul Pokriefke is a middle-aged journalist trying to piece together the tragic events. While his mother sees her whole existence in terms of that calamitous moment, Paul wishes their life could have been less touched by the past. For his teenage son, who dabbles in the dark, far-right corners of the Internet, the "Gustloff" embodies the denial of Germany's wartime suffering."Scuttling backward to move forward," "Crabwalk" is at once a captivating tale of a tragedy at sea and a fearless examination of the ways different generations of Germans now view their past.
