This volume is the result of Maria Janion's fascination with Günter Grass' works. The researcher and connoisseur of the romantic soul and Polish mentality has been studying and commenting on the work of the Gdansk-born German author for many years. This book begins with the transcription of a conversation with Grass that took place during one of her seminars in 1981 in Gdansk.
"The book 'Günter Grass and the Polish Mr Quichote' clearly shows that Maria Janion's project of making the author the 'missing limb of Polish literature' has been crowned by success. No German author knows and understands the Poles like Günter Grass, yet no other German author is understood and honoured as much by us."(Mariusz Cieslik)
