Audience . . .

. . . Never! . . .


(from The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass [new translation by Breon Mitchell])
"". . . You know, Herr Bebra, I prefer to be part of the audience, to allow my little art to bloom in secret, far from all applause, but I would be the last person to fail to applaud your performances." Herr Bebra raised his crumpled forefinger and admonished me: "My dear Oskar, take it from an experienced colleague. The likes of us should never be part of the audience. We have to be on the stage, in the arena. We have to perform and direct the action, otherwise our kind will be manipulated by those to do. And they'll all too happily pull a fast one on us.". . ."
