Oskar Matzerath decides to stop growing at age three and observes from his height the petty-bourgeois society of Danzig during the rise of Nazism. With his tin drum and a scream capable of shattering glass, he goes through picaresque episodes combining magical realism, satire, and historical criticism.

For readers of 20th-century classics and German fiction, with an interest in magical realism and historical criticism.
