The final work of Nobel Prize-winning writer Gunter Grass - a witty and elegiac series of meditations on writing, growing old, and the world. In a striking interplay of poetry, lyric prose and drawings, Grass creates his final, major work of art.

"As subtle and as delicate as the many feathers depicted through its pages, Of All That Ends is a glorious gift, a final salute true to the singular creativity of the most human, and humane, of artists." * Irish Times *"There is a lovely diversity to these pieces... His intelligence and intellectual engagement remain fiercely undimmed." -- Catherine Taylor * Financial Times *"This beautiful, ironic and often funny final collage of asides and meditations sums up the fabulist's genius." -- Eileen Battersby * Irish Times, Book of the Year *"Autumnal, elegiac and tinged with a twilight charm " -- Boyd Tonkin * The Arts Desk *"Of All That Ends radiates a burst of his primitive energy and his subtle shrewdness, using words and pencil lines as a remedy, an antidote to the factual world that we objectify and iconise... Laced with black humour." -- Julian Evans * Daily Telegraph *
