Items related to The Guinea Pigs
The Guinea Pigs is a chilling fable about dehumanization and alienation representing Vaculik's vision of the menace of Soviet domination in the wake of the 1969 invasion. Written in 1970, it is a sweeping condemnation of totalitarianism, embedded in a rich, imaginative, highly experimental narrative. In the words of the New York Review of Books it is "one of the major works of literature produced in postwar Europe."

Review:
"The juicy, mischevious earthiness of the language Vaculik uses to narrate his monstrous parable about men and guinea pigs presents special problems. Fortunately for Káca Polácková is an excellent translator, well equal to the challenge."
--Antonin J. Liehm
