Article Abstract:

It is considered that Max Beerbohm (1872-1956) never reached his literary potential, having published only one novel and some short stories, essays and dramatic criticism. Still his impeccable manner lives on as well as his work, which included some of the finest moments in radio broadcasting.

Gunter Grass: Germany's last heretic

Article Abstract:

Grass's novel vilifies the German reunification agency, Treuhand. It has enraged eastern Europeans by seeming to excuse East Germany, and has been mostly panned by German critics. The publicity about the 781-page tome has sent it to the top of the best-seller lists despite the critics.
