具体描述
"Peeling the Onion" is a searingly honest memoir that evokes Grass' modest upbringing in Danzig, his time as a boy soldier fighting the Russians and concludes with the writing of his masterpiece, "The Tin Drum", in Paris. Grass' parents ran a corner shop, but his mother, whom he adored, encouraged him towards books and music. Like most of his peers, he joined the Hitler Youth and in 1944, when he was just 17, he was sent to the Eastern front with the Waffen SS and found himself facing Russian tanks and machine guns. Recovering from shrapnel wounds in a military hospital, he had the good fortune to be taken prisoner by the Americans. In the aftermath of the war, following a stint as a miner, Grass survived by trading on the black market and resolved to become an artist, eventually enrolling at the Academy of Arts in Dusseldorf. While living as an artist in Berlin with his first wife Anna, a ballet dancer, he started to concentrate on writing poetry. It was after the couple moved to Paris that the first sentence of the novel he had been determined to write and that would make his reputation came to him: 'Granted: I am an inmate of a mental hospital'. "Peeling the Onion" is the story of a remarkable life and is, without question, one of Gunter Grass' finest works.

读后感
说出来也是搞笑，每当我经历一件令我记忆深刻的事时，我都会想想要是以后我写本回忆录的话这件事该怎么记叙。 记忆是怎么样的呢？从上面一句话可以看出，在我看来记忆是暧昧的，是模糊的，因为做一件事的动机往往不是单一的，而是复杂的，是综合考虑过的。那么当我在回忆的时...
评分在长达380页的阅读中，我始终处于一种颇为尴尬的困惑状态，虽然本书的封面上已经注明了这23万8千字的纪实性质，但是，它们给我的感觉，却比任何一部虚构作品更为虚假（但愿，我的说法不至于冒犯到作者）。如果我再去重复“生活远比小说更精彩”之类的陈词滥调，也许是对作者真...
评分2006年秋天，诺贝尔文学奖得主君特•格拉斯推出自己最新的回忆录，向世人述说了一个隐藏六十多年的秘密，从而引发震惊世界文坛的“格拉斯党卫军事件”。一时间，《剥洋葱》成为世界各大媒体的标题新闻，年届八旬的格拉斯首次公开承认这一人生污点后，受到了文学界、政界、评...
评分周六下午在涵芬楼做活动，临走时在书店前的展台看到08年译林版的《剥洋葱》，毫不犹豫买下。 剥洋葱，两种含义，可以理解为回忆在剥离的过程中逐渐湿润，当下的生活正如干燥的外皮，随着回忆的逐渐深入，记忆也随之清晰可见并回复到当初的鲜活状态。我更喜欢的是第二种含义，...
