2. I did read Grass, but none of her other novel-length works.

I'm more into hard SF, and not at all into fantasy, so none of her other works really tempted me, though I've read a few of her short stories in anthologies. Frankly, Grass was such a big, sprawling book that I had to take a reading break afterwards, and I didn't feel like picking up such a big work for quite a while afterwards.

Interesting that she was writing pamphlets for PP as far back as the Sixties. A really multitalented woman, and a bit of a pioneer.
