An ode to decay.
This is truly a product of time. Time of things that have passed, the dead and the dying. While it is lyrical and honest in its presentation it is truncated and I honestly wish I had experienced something else by Grass before undertaking this work. I really enjoyed the essentialism of his thoughts if not what he was ruminating about. Some are too short to be more than snippets of a idea that never bloomed, but most were just observations of the ephemeral nature of man. The accompanying sketches were charming studies and display the same repetitiveness as the written text.
