The butt

From the bloody heads of prehistoric hordes to intercontinental missiles: 400 years of men's history as a senseless cycle of violence are experienced firsthand by the narrator and immortal fairy tale hero in the Bay of Gdańsk, while Ilsebill, his beloved and partner, ensures real progress as a cook: the elimination of hunger. In 1974, a women's tribunal in Berlin opens proceedings against the worn-out men and the miraculous flatfish, as the women now want to make history. However, hope lies only in the joint emancipation to something third. In Grass's powerful reading of his work, a pull is created that draws one through all the shallows.
