El puercoespín (1992) es una novela que retrata la caída del comunismo en Europa tras los sucesos de 1989. Se desarolla en un país de Europa del Este que nunca se nombra (una «seudo-Bulgaria» según el propio Barnes), y describe el juicio de su jefe de estado, Stoyó Petkánov. Barnes presenta la historia a través de los ojos de muchos personajes, desde unos estudiantes desencantados que ven el juicio por televisión, actuando como una especie de coro griego, hasta el propio ex dictador. La variedad de testigos humaniza a Petkánov, revolucionario convencido, al tiempo que revela la sombría conclusión de que la victoria ideológica representada por el cambio de régimen no poseyó vencedores claros ni absolutos. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

In his latest novel, Julian Barnes, author ofTalking It OverandA History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters, trains his laser-bright prose on the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. 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.

What does a society do when options are limited? Non-verbal women’s protest of clanging pots and pans excellent metaphor re expression of overwhelmed frustration.
The people want both sides without compromise: a glamourous First Lady who cares nothing for clothes, a man of the people who leads like a TV star. Novel makes one thing of all the senseless deaths but few deaths make sense anyway; the truth of main character’s actions/motivations not revealed as in real life they wouldn’t be either. There probably isn’t one path forward as society has always diverging paths. Mostly it is about survival of one particular group at a time. ( )
