About This Novel
The novella "The Statue Man" is the posthumous work of German writer Günter Grass, written around 2003. Authorized by the Grass Foundation in 2022, it was published in Germany for the first time. This work is based on a reading tour that Glass took in the Democratic Republic of Germany in the late 1980s. It uses the sculptures of the 13th-century statue master in the Naumburg Cathedral in Germany, its prototype model, and the young woman who is currently makeup as a statue to perform as protagonists. It weaves a magical realism "legend" that interweaves reality and history, and is both real and illusory. This book also includes some of Glass's essays and short stories, such as "Five Birds", "Left-Handed", "The Rabbit and the Hedgehog", etc.
