The Trial of the Pig - Oscar Cope-Van

This powerful novel tells us the truth about human nature and the absurdity of its justice, and condemns the follies and evils of men. It is also a satire on our society, which pours out its cruelty on the weak and those who lack the words and methods to defend themselves. It is a story that takes us back to our relationship with the other, for he is the evil, the different, and the animal here. Through the theatrical division of the novel, the writer sheds light on the tragedy of life, indicating that each character in it plays a role and complies with what is expected of it: the bereaved family maintains its pride, the police investigate, the people demand revenge, the executioner prepares his tools... As for the reader, he watches this. The show is divided into five exciting chapters. We oscillate between laughter, sadness and amazement, and we close this wonderful novel wondering who is the real beast in the tale: the human or the pig. Herein lies the joy of reading!
