A Barata by Ian McEwan
A darkly comic, Kafkaesque political satire that follows an unlikely insect protagonist whose sudden centrality to a surreal upheaval exposes the absurdities of contemporary British politics; through sharp, economical prose the novella skewers populism, media spectacle and the mechanics of power while probing questions of identity, consciousness and the fragility of democratic institutions, rendering politicians and citizens alike grotesque and laughably vulnerable to rhetoric, fear and vanity.
