«Katz und Maus» is the short novel by Günter Grass, published by Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag in paperback (183 pages, in German).
Set in Danzig during the Second World War, the narrative is told by Pilenz, who recalls his admired and despised classmate Joachim Mahlke. His prominent Adam's apple makes him an outsider, and his feats as a diver are not enough to integrate him. Obsessed with hiding his difference and with winning the Iron Cross, Mahlke wages a desperate struggle against guilt, sexuality and the dehumanisation of war.
Second instalment of the Danzig Trilogy; originally published in 1961.
For readers of twentieth-century German fiction and historical fiction about the Second World War.
Günter Wilhelm Grass was a German novelist, poet, playwright, illustrator, graphic artist, sculptor, and recipient of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Literature.
