DILI, East Timor (APj — Ragged, unshaven guerril
la fighters — the likely leaders of an independent East
Timor — descended from the mountains yesterday seek
ing a role in the emerging nation, as the United States
pressured Indonesia to help refugees return home.
The Falintil guerrillas, who battled Indonesian troops
since the occupation of East Timor began in 1975, came
to the capital, Dili, in a truck packed with weapons they
said were left behind by the In
donesian army. They turned
them over to international peace
keepers, but refused to give up
their own guns.
“Falintil will not hand over
weapons,” said leader Cornelio
Goma. “We are the national lib
eration force of East Timor.”
The return to Dili of 30 guer
rillas, their hair and beards un
cut, thrilled people who had
cheered for a guerrilla victory
for more than two decades.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) —
Novelist Guenter Grass, whose
explorations of Germany’s trou
bled century made him one of the
best-known German writers of
the post-World War II generation,
won the 1999 Nobel Prize in liter
ature yesterday.
A phone call from the Swedish
Academy informing him of the
choice brought a smile from the
71-year-old author.
“I’m happy,” he told journalists.
At a news conference later in his
office, Grass said his reaction was
“joy — also a certain pride because
I haven’t always been praised in my
difficult fatherland, more overseas.”
“I was constantly a candidate
for 20 years,” he said. “That kept
me young. Now, old age is irrevo
cably starting.”
The Swedish Academy cited
Grass’ first novel. The Tin Drum,
published in 1959, for ushering in
a new era for German literature “af
ter decades of linguistic and moral
destruction.”
“Here he comes to grips with
the enormous task of reviewing
contemporary history by recalling
the disavowed and the forgotten:
the victims, losers and lies that
people wanted to forget because
they had once believed in them,”
the academy said.
“it is not too audacious to as
sume that The Tin Drum will be
come one of the enduring literary
works of the 20th century."
Combining naturalistic detail
with fantastical images and events,
Grass established his reputation
with The Tin Drum, Cat and Mouse
and Dog Years, published between
\959 and A963.
