Abstract

In an article Green Years for Life magazine' introduced Giinter Grass, the author of The Tin Drum, Cat and Mouse, and Dog Years to the American public and published a few of his remarks commenting on his writings. Though sometimes amusing, his statements become rather startling when they revolve around the use of symbols, for Grass categorically claims that he merely tells stories and dislikes ideologies as well as symbols; and since he has no symbolic intent, he does not need the swasticas of the Nazis, the hammers and sickles of the Communists, the images of the Roman Catholics, and the trademarks of the capitalists to manifest his intent.
