A review by kunalsen
The Tin Drum by Günter Grass

4.0

I loved the film by Volker Schlöndorff many decades ago, and finally read the book. I know one should not compare the two, but I was moved more deeply by the film. That is not to say I enjoyed the book any less, but there was something more raw and powerful in the film. Incidentally, I remember seeing Gunter Grass in our own living room in Calcutta, but I was a little too young to understand the importance of this person.
