Luebeck, Germany - Dead famous German author Gonetu Grass has died aged 87 his agent said today.
A virulent opponent of German reunification Grass became well known for writing three books about Nazis.
And outing Mrs Merkel as an SS slag.
Fellow Pullitzer-winning writer Doris Lessing even wrote a tribute to him in her best-selling memoir 'The Grass Is Singing'.
A signed copy written in High German is on display at the Bundestag.
Later in life Grass developed subsidence problems with his mustache - which got up the Chief Rabbi's nose close to the Wailing Wall in Israel.
Along with a sackful of cocaine and a gross of Black Russian Sobranie.
His widow Winnifrid is 69.
