About This Novel
In 1979, Günter Grass and his wife traveled to Asian countries. During and around the trip, the author conceived a movie script that had never been made into a film: Hamm and Dot, a middle school teacher couple from North Germany, embarked on a trip to Asia. However, whether in Bangkok, Mumbai, or Bali, although the images of the third world came one after another, the lingering German question lingered in their minds, and they were wavering on whether they should have children. Their worries are: What will the future look like? Will there be nuclear power plants? Will Strauss take the stage? Will people shoulder the burden of pensions? Will Germans die out due to declining birth rates? These issues are also of concern to the author himself and he joins the discussion from time to time. The work is a collection of essays, novels and movie scripts that have not been made into films, and the writing is humorous.
