Günter Wilhelm Grass war ein deutscher Schriftsteller, Bildhauer, Maler und Grafiker. Grass gehörte seit 1957 zur Gruppe 47 und wurde mit seinem Debütroman Die Blechtrommel 1959 zu einem international geachteten Autor der deutschen Nachkriegsliteratur.
Grass’ Werk und Rolle als Autor und politischer Intellektueller war und ist Gegenstand umfangreicher Forschung sowie des Medieninteresses im In- und Ausland. Seine zentrale Motivation war der Verlust seiner Heimat Danzig und die Auseinandersetzung mit der nationalsozialistischen Vergangenheit, die sich vielfach in seinen Werken widerspiegelt. Seine Popularität als Schriftsteller nutzte er häufig, um das politische und gesellschaftliche Tagesgeschehen öffentlich zu kommentieren. Er war langjährig in Wahlkämpfen für die SPD und die Grünen aktiv und präsent. Grass’ Bücher wurden in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt und teilweise verfilmt. Im Jahr 1999 erhielt er den Nobelpreis für Literatur; er wurde mit einer Vielzahl weiterer Auszeichnungen geehrt.
