Synopsis "Diario de la Guerra del Cerdo (in Spanish)"
La cuarta novela de Adolfo Bioy Casares, una historia fantástica con estremecedoras resonancias políticas. Publicada en 1969, bajo la dictadura de Juan Carlos Onganía, Diario de la guerra del cerdo narra en clave semifantástica un enfrentamiento entre jóvenes y viejos en el barrio porteño de Palermo, suscitado por un inexplicable odio intergeneracional. De la noche a la mañana, unas pandillas de jóvenes violentos empiezan a atacar a ancianos y gente de edad, lo que trastoca la existencia del protagonista. Sus reacciones y la ambientación son realistas, pero el autor examina la cotidianidad a la luz de la fantasía y lo siniestro. Con sus numerosas alusiones a la realidad política de su época, la novela se ha leído como una alegoría del principio de la guerrilla y la represión de Estado en la Argentina. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Adolfo Bioy Casares' fourth novel, a fantasy tale with chilling political resonance. Published in 1969 under Juan Carlos Onganía's dictatorship, Diary of the War of the Pig makes use of a semi-fantasy code to chronicle a confrontation between young and old in the port district of Palermo, prompted by an inexplicable intergenerational hatred. Overnight, gangs of violent youngsters begin to attack old people and seniors, disrupting the protagonist's existence. Their reactions and environment are realistic, but the author examines everyday life under the light of the fantastic and the sinister. With numerous references to the political reality of the time, the novel has been read as an allegory for the origins of the guerilla and state repression in Argentina.
