Your review of Slavenka Drakulić’s A Guided Tour Through the Museum of Communism: Fables from a Mouse, a Parrot, a Bear, a Cat, a Mole, a Dog, and a Raven (London: Penguin, 2011), or perhaps the book itself, leaves out an important fable (“Animal Farm,” March 19, 2011). A fable from a horse, that is. “Communism, what communism?” the horse would wave its hoof dismissively in an interview for animal television. “We got tricked by the pigs!” And it would transpire that the old dream is still alive. “Sooner or later,” the horse would lean toward the camera and continue in a hushed voice, “the travesty will be forgotten, and the dream will come back with a vengeance.” The rest of the interview would be about the horrors of what came after fake communism, of course. “Mark my words,” the horse would lean back and shut its eyes by way of an unshakable conviction, “not even the pigs can destroy the dream of communism!” The fables from many other animals captured by the Croatian author would swiftly pale into insignificance.
