Cancer. A novel by Günter Grass. Translated into Icelandic by Bjarni Jónsson.
The Crab is Günter Grass's most talked-about novel since The Tin Drum was published more than forty years ago. The story is about the greatest shipwreck of all time when a Soviet submarine sank the Wilhelm Gustloff in the Baltic Sea on the morning of January 31, 1945. Almost eight thousand people died on the ship, many of them children. The Crab is both a dense account of a devastating tragedy at sea and a relentless story about how different generations of Germans view the past. Günter Grass was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1999. (Bókatíðindi 2007).
