As its author, here is the original text (not sure what the edited version said): The third, written in astoundingly flat prose, follows "the Grinder" Walter Matern and his scarecrow-making buddy Eduard Amsel. The second casually glosses over some rather bizarre sexual activity involving oral sex and pigeon shit, but generally follows the life of a great swimmer with a big Adam's apple, Mahlke. The first – and best-known of the trilogy – follows the possible murderer, gang leader, and midget, Oscar Matzerath. Composed of Dog Years, Cat and Mouse, and The Tin Drum, FTP, give the collective name for this troika of novels by Gunter Grass. Answer: The _Danzig_ Trilogy Anyway, I thought the Penn crew did an above-average job this year. Thanks, Matt Schneller Duke Law, '04
