The guinea pigs
earliest edition we have, 1974 London Magazine, 1974 150 pages
This novel, set in Prague and its surrounding suburbs, has the elements of an allegorical play - a tight theme with variations, a small cast whose members are assigned exemplary roles, and a moral lesson or two (made ambiguous by the novel's surprising denouement). Unlike the idealized or generalized depictions of a more classical allegory, each of the people portrayed here is thoroughly individuated. - Amazon.com.
