[Juenger-list] Jünger and Grass

JÜNGER and GRASS

One difference between the two is that Jünger contributed to political topics 
only for a short period of his life, Grass does so ongoing. Another, Grass 
marketed and markets his books much more successfully.

I liked the analogy with the tour de france disqualifying in Simon's post 
;-), although a literary prize should evaluate one's writing, not one's 
biography. It is another significant difference between the two, that Grass aimed at 
the Noble-prize while Jünger was probably pleased not to have been gifted with 
it.
