Grass first appeared in the literary world as a poem. 1955, his "Water Lily" won the third prize in the poetry competition organized by Radio Nande. Grass 1956' s poetry anthology "The Strengths of the Chicken in the Wind" and 1960' s "Triangle Orbit" are influenced by realism, expressionism and surrealism, with rich associations, passion and strong sense of rhythm.
Glass began to write plays almost at the same time as writing poems. Early plays, such as Ten Minutes to Buffalo by 1954, The Flood by 1957, Uncle, Uncle by 1958, Bad Chef by 196 1, Later, there were two dramas, namely 1966' s Experimental Uprising of the People and 1969' s Before this, trying to turn the plot of the drama into a dialectical discussion and reveal the inner contradictions of the characters. Glass claims that these two plays are the continuation of Brecht's method of "developing from epic drama to dialectical drama". However, The Civilian Experimental Uprising distorted Brecht's image during the workers' riots in East Berlin, so it was widely criticized.
After trying poetry and drama, Glass began to write novels again. 1958, members of "April 7th Society" got together in Holtzrajet, Arghe. Glass read the first chapter of the unfinished novel Tin Drum, which was well received by the participants. For this reason, Grass also won the "April 7th Society" literature prize. Based on the author's hometown of Danzig and postwar Federal Republic of Germany, the novel reproduces the history of Germany from the mid-1920s to the mid-1950s in the form of first-person flashback, exposing Hitler's fascist brutality and corrupt social fashion.
After the Tin Drum, Grass wrote the novel Tom and Jerry at 196 1, and the novel Year of the Dog at 1963.

Glass is not only a novelist, poet and playwright, but also a famous and skilled painter and sculptor. He liked painting since he was a child, claiming that painting and sculpture were his first occupation. In his creative career, painting and literature are inseparable. As he himself said, the two are "an organic and interactive process". Many of his poems are illustrated by his own paintings. The content and form of these illustrations are mostly closely matched with the content of poetry, which provides an image annotation for poetry. Turning the theme of literary works into the object of painting is a remarkable feature of Grass's fine arts.
