"28.2. The leading German intellectuals of the 17th century gather in an inn to have some artistic philosophical discussions and stuff. Knowing Grass, this novel is full of absurd and ironic humor, but unless you actually know about the people and places it depicts, it's nearly unreadable, since the story and the characters aren't that lively or interesting to begin with. Since I'm not a professor of German culture history, I had hard time getting through this thing."
