Taken prisoner by American forces as he was recovering from shrapnel wounds, he spent the final weeks of the war in an American POW camp. After the war, Grass resolved to become an artist and moved with his first wife to Paris, where he began to write the novel that would make him famous.Full of the bravado of youth, the rubble of postwar Germany, the thrill of wild love affairs, and the exhilaration of Paris in the early fifties, \"Peeling the Onion--\"which caused great controversy when it was published in Germany--reveals Grass at his most intimate.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt","offers":[{"title":"Peeling the Onion | Gunter Grass | Hardcover | 9780151014774 | Used: Very Good | Memoir 1669649","offer_id":50789240668418,"sku":"1669649","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61rPnF5L4CL.jpg?v=1792297084","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/peeling-the-onion","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
