He was also the object of valid feminist criticism: a rigid conception of gender permeates his works, belying his professed skepticism toward ideologies. A heterosexual male, Grass lent his representative persona a natural veneer by appropriating his era's gendered discursive constructs, including Heimat, the Bildungsroman, and narratives about German wartime victims and perpetrators. Such appropriation elevated his remembering artist's masculinity above that of the status quo's defenders and exploiters of memory. This book is the first to evaluate the connection between gender and memory in Grass's oeuvre and its legacy in light of current concerns about male privilege. It highlights his breakthrough novel The Tin Drum (1959) and his memoir Peeling the Onion (2006). The former establishes the gendered persona that Grass would develop in subsequent decades to relate contemporary issues to Nazi-era memories. The latter reclaims the novel's autobiographical material but fails to account for his decades-long silence about having served in the Nazi Waffen-SS. Instead, it foregrounds his mourning for his mother, allowing for a more personal reading of his oeuvre and its gendered imagery." -- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages [217]-231) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Grass's Biography in Context: 1927-1959 -- Corporeal Memory, Trauma, and Art in The Tin Drum -- Bildung, Heimat, and Gendered Modes of German Memory in The Tin Drum -- A Patriarchal Arbiter of German Cultural Memory and His Feminized Others: Leveling Bildung, Opening Heimat, and Championing Art from the 1960s to the New Millennium -- Grass's Early Life Once Again: Broken Silence, Mourning, and Gendered Approaches to Memory in Peeling the Onion -- Epilogue -- Works Cited. 600 10 $a Grass, GuÌnter, $d 1927-2015. $t Blechtrommel. 600 10 $a Grass, GuÌnter, $d 1927-2015. $t Beim HaÌuten der Zwiebel. 600 17 $a Grass, GuÌnter, $d 1927-2015. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00057296 630 07 $a Blechtrommel (Grass, GuÌnter) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01358216 650 0 $a Sex role in literature. 650 0 $a Memory in literature. 650 7 $a Memory in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01787079 650 7 $a Sex role in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114649 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version : $a Malchow, Timothy Bruce. $t GuÌnter Grass and the genders of German memory. $d Rochester, New York : Camden House, 2021 $z 9781800100329 $w (OCoLC)1191647432 830 0 $a Culture and power in German-speaking Europe, 1918-1989 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013840.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=00DEC88A5F0811ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
