The Metaphor of Mouse

Summary/Abstract: Gunter Grass's novel "Cat and Mouse" is conceived by the author as part of the Danzig trilogy, which has the country (Danzig) and the time (World War II) as two constant elements. The novel is especially appreciated for figurative semantics and narrative play. While the story-line or the linearity of the story is simple, the novel complicates the analeptic and the proleptic passages, telling the story from different angles and attitudes, making multiple digressions and creating a discrete polyphony.
