Morgan Moustache Rides 1927 Gunter
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the renowned German writer Gunter Grass in an unexpected and playful moment. Taken in an undated image, Grass is seen riding atop a rat, his moustached face beaming with delight. The writer, who was born in Danzig, Germany in 1927, is known for his provocative and politically charged novels that often explored German history and identity. Grass's literary career began in the late 1940s, and he quickly gained international acclaim with the publication of his novel "The Tin Drum" in 1959. The book, which tells the story of a dwarf who refuses to grow up and uses a tin drum to express his displeasure with the world, was a scathing critique of post-World War II German society. Despite his serious and often controversial subject matter, Grass was known for his sense of humor and playfulness. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lighter side of the writer's personality. The rat, which appears to be a domesticated one, seems unfazed by the weight of its passenger. Grass's casual attire and relaxed posture add to the informal and whimsical feel of the image. The photograph is a reminder that even the most serious and respected figures in literature can have a sense of fun and adventure. Grass's legacy as a German writer and historian is secure, but this image offers a unique and endearing glimpse into his personal life and character.
