What is literature for?

The German writer Günter Grass won the 1999 Nobel Prize in Literature, a decision that delighted all those who have admired the radical power of Grass's writing since The Tin Drum (1959). This quality was on show in a groundbreaking conversation between Grass and Juan Goytisolo, another dissident writer, at Madrid's Círculo de lectores cultural centre on 6 November 1997.
