Tauben im Gras ist der erste Roman aus Wolfgang Koeppens Trilogie des Scheiterns. Er erschien 1951 und schildert die Personen und Ereignisse eines einzigen Tages im München des Jahres 1949. Die über dreißig Figuren verzweifeln an ihrer Umgebung, doch vor allem auch an sich und ihren Erwartungen. Kaum ein Autor wirft einen so genauen und sezierenden Blick auf die unmittelbare Nachkriegszeit. Der Roman, ungekürzt gelesen von Achim Höppner, zeichnet kaleidoskopartig die gesellschaftlichen, moralischen, politischen und rassistischen Verhältnisse im Nachkriegsdeutschland nach.
