Tense, assured, and destructive, Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s The Beasts is a potent look at the wars waged between outsiders and natives. agracru's review:
It is pretty to think that once upon a time, neighbors at odds could address and resolve petty territorial disputes over a quaff of liquor at the local bar. Pop the bottle, fill the glass; uncork empathy, find community and arrive at a solution that’s pleasing—and beneficial—to everybody. That time never really existed, or if it did, only people who share class and social strata could make use of the practice.
Sorogoyen, multi-Goya winner that he is, marks the passage of days and months and years with subtle, embedded touches: The ripening of tomatoes, the burgeoning of crispy leafy greens, the gradual improvement of a Frenchman’s Spanish, the celebration of birthdays, the decay of disused properties peppering the village. In addition to farming, Antoine and Olga restore these homes to modern glory, return them to the locals, and ask for naught in return. They’re good people.
