Local Anaesthetic (novel)
''Local Anaesthetic'' ((ドイツ語:Örtlich betäubt )) is a 1969 novel by the German writer Günter Grass. It tells the story of an idealistic high-school teacher who believes society, like a pupil, is learning from experience and reason.
==Plot and content==
Eberhard Starusch is a 40-year-old teacher of German and history who lives in West Berlin and acts as the tragicomic centre of the novel. In the background one of his students, Phillipp Scherbaum, is planning to set fire to his dog Max on the Kurfurstendamm as a protest against the US involvement in the Vietnam War. Starusch undergoes a long sequence of dental operations in 1967 in a surgery where television is used as a method of distracting patients from the operations and the pain that is involved in them, with the resultant televisual images merging and melding into his consciousness and reflections. Starusch recounts his own meditations upon the political past and the post-war situation in Adenauer's Germany and the inadequacy, from his perspective, of both Left and Right political ideologies and party alignments in that period (with tooth decay acting as a metaphor for wider spiritual and political decay).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/gunter-grass/local-anaesthetic/ )〕 The book is largely an internal monologue from Starusch's perspective, punctuated only on limited occasions by questions and observations from his dentist.
