Of All That Ends

<p><strong>The final work of Nobel Prize-winning writer G&uuml;nter Grass - a witty and elegiac series of meditations on writing, growing old, and the world.</strong><br /><br />Suddenly, in spite of the trials of old age, and with the end in sight, everything seems possible again: love letters, soliloquies, scenes of jealousy, swan songs, social satire, and moments of happiness.<br /><br />Only an ageing artist who had once more cheated death could get to work with such wisdom, defiance and wit. A wealth of touching stories is condensed into artful miniatures. In a striking interplay of poetry, lyric prose and drawings, Grass creates his final, major work of art.<br /><br />A moving farewell gift, a sensual, melancholy summation of a life fully lived.</p>
