«Pelando la cebolla» is the autobiography of Günter Grass, published by Alfaguara in hardback (456 pages, in Spanish).
Günter Grass uses the metaphor of the onion, peeled layer by layer, to reconstruct his childhood in Danzig, his enlistment in the Waffen SS, his work as a miner in postwar Germany, and his exile in Paris, where he wrote The Tin Drum. Between memory and confession, Günter Grass interrogates his past and reflects on silence in the face of one's own actions.
The work was originally published in German as Beim Häuten der Zwiebel. This Spanish edition, translated by Miguel Sáenz, belongs to the Alfaguara Literaturas collection and appeared in 2007.
It is appropriate reading for those seeking memoirs, twentieth-century European history, or the career of Günter Grass.
Günter Wilhelm Grass was a German novelist, poet, playwright, illustrator, graphic artist, sculptor, and recipient of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Literature.
