«El puercoespín» is the contemporary fiction novel by Julian Barnes, published in 1994 by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (174 pages, in Spanish).
The public trial of Stoya Petkanov, former president of a post-socialist country, serves to explore the fall of communism and the emptiness of failed utopias. Peter Solinsky, prosecutor in the case and son of a purged revolutionary, faces a defendant who still knows how to play his cards. Irony and sarcasm run through this satire of Eastern Europe.
First edition, translated by Francisco Javier Calzada, published in Barcelona in the Panorama de narrativas collection (no. 291).
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in the history of Eastern Europe and political satire.
