Grass letter causes uproar in Germany (not)

The self-appointed conscience for Germany, author Günter Grass, is really good at writing letters, too. Or at least he used to be. In a pair of letters rediscovered from 1969, he asks a high-ranking German minister to openly discuss his nasty brown past.

He also demanded that the minister do this at “the next possible opportunity”. That the “belated apostle of enlightenment” who took the time out of his busy schedule to write this would be needing another 37 years to do the same thing himself, well, that's nowhere to be found in the letters. Or we'll find that in the third letter. The one that hasn’t surfaced yet, I mean.
