The Box: Tales from the Darkroom by Günter Grass
Box is a fictionalized autobiography of the author told as reminiscences from his children. The "box" is a normal camera that takes "magic" pictures. The picture may show events how they would like to have occurred. It may show the future. It shows a form of "truth" that is different from the actual reality viewed. This bit of fantasy allows for some interesting exploration of life during World War II and post-war Germany.
