>>25343787The Flounder by Gunter Grass is the only one that comes to mind for me, although it’s the only work of his that I’ve read. It’s ok.

>>25343787Excursion to Tilsit is a famous one that inspired Murnau’s sunrise but it doesn’t seem widely available in English. I looked>> The Excursion to Tilsit (Die Reise nach Tilsit)A married man is in love with his mistress and plans to drown his wife on the way back from a trip to Tilsit. During the trip he reconciles with his wife, changes his mind and tells her about his now abandoned plan. In a fatal accident the man drowns and the wife is saved through the means the man had prepared for his own escape.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Excursion_to_Tilsit

>>25344168Yeah I wasn’t impressed enough by the flounder to particularly want to read more of his work. It is ok though and I’d recommend it if you’re hard up for something different to read. It spans several centuries, including the Hanseatic period, albeit largely from the perspective of a medium to large sized bottom dwelling fish
