FIZZ POWDER

This is for all you crazy rising seniors to discuss the wonders of Gunter Grass. Being the kind departing alumna that I am, I will give you a prompt, just to get your discussion going:

Will you ever eat mushrooms again?

I think that this was one of the more excruciating readings of the book. Gunter Grass, fortunatly or unfortunatly (depending on the reader), paints a picture of this occasion in tremendous detail. I find the "fizz powder" incident intersting becasue it helps support the unreliablity of the author. When Oskar asks Anna if she remembers their fizz powder encounters, she denies any recolection of any of these events. Maria may be lying out of denial but regardless I find this event bewilderingly intersting.
