Postkomunistički svijet u romanu Bodljikavo prase Džulijana Barnsa
Postcommunist World in the Novel the Porcupine by Julian Barnes

Summary/Abstract: The Porcupine is one of the most surprising novels by Julian Barnes, not only because it is quite traditional in its form and style, unlike other novels he wrote, but also because of the topic he deals with and his approach to it. The novel offers a presentation of a postcommunist society from the perspective of an outsider who studied the phenomena and developments in that society so thoroughly that it is difficult to call him an outsider in the first place. To the frequent themes he deals with in his works - elusiveness of truth and impossibility of an objective history, Julian Barnes adds the themes of difficulties of transition in post-communist world and the responsibility for what happened in the former communist countries, raising thus some of the most provocative and most sensitive questions that trouble this part of the world..
