Theo Wuttke, a former East German functionary, is a keen observer and a gifted speaker. Ludwig Hoftaller is a mid-level spy whose loyalties shift with each new regime. Together, both men see what the future is bringing as they try to save what they can from the past and understand the meaning of being German. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA complex and challenging exploration of what Germany's reunification will mean-for Germans, for Europe, and for the world-Too Far Afield is a masterwork from one of Europe's greatest writers. Written with the wit, fantasy, literary erudition, and political acerbity for which Grass is celebrated, it is a deeply human story laced with pain and humor in equal measure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harpervia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780156014168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.05h x 5.95w x 1.21d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/06\/2002 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"G\u0026#252;nter Grass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42114483552437,"sku":"9780156014168","price":31.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_74d70fb3-df34-4efd-b94b-798a575772af.jpg?v=1652151184","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/too-far-afield-9780156014168","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
