Cat and Mouse

To compensate for his unusually large Adam`s apple – source of both discomfort and distress – fourteen year old Joachim Mahlke turns himself into athlete and ace diver. Soon he is known to his peers and his nation as `The Great Mahlke`. But to his enemies, he remains a target. He is different and doomed in a country scarred by the war. Cat and Mouse was first published in 1961, two years after Gunter Grass` controversial and applauded masterpiece, The Tin Drum. Once again Grass turns his attention on Danzig. With a subtle blend of humour and power, Cat and Mouse ostensibly relates the rise of Mahlke from clown to hero. But Mahlke`s outlandish antics hide the darkness at the heart of a nation torn by Nazi violence, the war and its aftermath.
