Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

The author of Talking It Over trains his laser-bright intelligence and phosphorescent prose on the ambiguities raised by the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. "His literary energy and daring are nearly unparalleled among contemporary English novelists."--New Republic.


Review:

"It is a sly and skillfully managed plot and Mr. Barnes's novel is memorable not least for its cameos of the dreary sadness of life as it is lived by so many ordinary people."

Economist, 11/28/1992

Review:

"In some ways, 'The Porcupine' brings to mind the political literature of fifty years ago: Andre Malraux, George Orwell and particularly the Arthur Koestler of 'Darkness at Noon..."

Robert Stone, New York Times Book Review, 12/13/1992
