Representation, Subversion, and Eugenics in Günter Grass`s The Tin Drum

States that in the novel "The Tin Drum", Gunter Grass creates an irrational counterculture opposed to the rationalism of Nazi science and its obsession with racial hygiene, while simultaneously exposing the continuity of this destructive rationalism in postwar Germany and the absurdity of a Stunde Null, that putative tabula rasa in 1945.
