Gunther Grass "Katz & Maus" (Cat and Mouse) Lithograph, 2002 |
In pOmo rhetoric words don't represent concepts, or anything definite rooted in reality. Rather it is the double entendre - what is insinuated by speaker - must be threshed out by 'close reading', or 'deconstruction'. This is the way we should read pOmo Gunther Grass' poisoned poem, "What Must Be Said", written in liberated prose like any good nihilist should.
