Interesting article. When I read this part from the JP story then I pretty much had made up my mind on this Grass guy:

Quote:
John Irving, who has cited Grass as a major influence on his writing, said that he is still a hero in his eyes and called him, "A daring writer and a daring man."
Grass is a waste of space.

I thought this thread was about the Pope? Surely the Pope is not in the same league as this Grass character?
