Cat and Mouse is Günter Grass’s darkly comic novella set in wartime Danzig, following the strange and troubled figure of Joachim Mahlke, whose schoolboy legend grows into something larger, sadder and more ambiguous. First published in German as Katz und Maus, it is part of Grass’s Danzig Trilogy, alongside The Tin Drum and Dog Years.
