La cuarta novela de Adolfo Bioy Casares, una historia fant???stica con estremecedoras resonancias pol???ticas. Publicada en 1969, bajo la dictadura de Juan Carlos Ongan???a, Diario de la guerra del cerdo narra en clave semifant???stica un enfrentamiento entre j???venes y viejos en el barrio porte???o de Palermo, suscitado por un inexplicable odio intergeneracional. De la noche a la ma???ana, unas pandillas de j???venes violentos empiezan a atacar a ancianos y gente de edad, lo que trastoca la existencia del protagonista. Sus reacciones y la ambientaci???n son realistas, pero el autor examina la cotidianidad a la luz de la fantas???a y lo siniestro. Con sus numerosas alusiones a la realidad pol???tica de su ???poca, la novela se ha le???do como una alegor???a del principio de la guerrilla y la represi???n 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 Ongan???a'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.
