Julian Barnes

The Porcupine

English · Paperback / Softback

Description

In his latest novel, Julian Barnes, author of b>Talking It Over/b> and b>A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters/b>, trains his laser-bright prose on the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe.br>br>Stoyo Petkanov, the deposed Party leader, is placed on trial for crimes that range from corruption to political murder. Petkanov''s guilt -- and the righteousness of his opponents -- would seem to be self-evident. But, as brilliantly imagined by Barnes, the trial of this cunning and unrepentant dictator illuminates the shadowy frontier between the rusted myths of the Communist past and a capitalist future in which everything is up for grabs.
