The next time I go to the Onion Cellar I will surely lament my finishing of this book. Why? Because less than a day after I have finished it, I already miss it and I am too prideful to cry without the aid of an onion. Finishing this book felt like saying goodbye to an old friend, oh sure we say we ...
Miałem kiedyś nauczyciela pochodzącego z tzw. Kresów. W czasach jedynej słusznej ideologii i jedynej prawomyślnej historii Polski zdarzało mu się opowiadać nam, uczniom różne sceny ze swojego dzieciństwa.

Sustaining the totally unreliable, possibly insane voice of Oskar through a book this long without stumbling or stretching our suspension of semi-belief is a hell of a task, and Grass totally nails it. I found this entertaining, funny, sad, weird and wholly li...
