"Bliktrommen" er en fantastisk fabulerende skælme- og udviklingsroman. Det er beretningen om dværgen Oskar Matzeraths opvækst i Hitlertidens Tyskland. Om hans forunderlige liv, fra han som treårig beslutter sig for at holde op med at vokse og falder ned ad en trappe, til han som 30-årig, anklaget for mord og indlagt på en anstalt for sindslidende, begynder at fortælle om sit liv. En 'misdannelsesroman' er den blevet kaldt, for Oskar Matzerath er en outsider. En særling der betragter verden og voksenlivet med et vist dæmonisk klarsyn, på én gang forstærket og forvrænget.
