The publication shows impressive photos of the event at Theater Lübeck and the Günter Grass House and makes the speeches and contributions of John Irving, Mario Adorf, Helene Grass, the Minister of State for Culture and Media Prof. Monika Grütters, Mayor Bernd Saxe and many others accessible. In his very personal commemorative speech, the friend and writer colleague John Irving reminded us of a character from the novel "The Tin Drum": "Once upon a time there was a toy trader, his name was Markus and he took all the toys from this world with him," it says. "I know how Oskar feels. Günter Grass was the king of the toy dealers. Now he has left us and taken all the toys from this world."
