by Matthew PEACE




In Cuban literature has spoken of the Caribbean city with joy and abandon, with a certain nostalgia for what was and never had, through humor, absurdity, or even through Surrealism. It has also been appointed to Cuba without naming it, making the reader digest the suggestions and nuances through the representation of a place in the world silencing his name but by showing that this is what the reader suspects and imagines. Cuban hunger has come to us through television and magazines, thanks to those who have suffered and no longer live there or tourists who have been without autism. The beasts, however, speaks of a special and distinct hunger, a hunger that flows from the "darkness of uncertainty" of human beings: "In the town no one had argued that raising pigs in baths, roofs, patios and cabinets , and lack of civility. But the heart had roots deeper, "says the narrator about raising pigs. This symbol of hunger, making contact with the persecution of Professor Claude Canizares, makes us understand the novel as an attempt to show the desolation of the people directed from an "absolute rule" that pervades all things. In fact, the protagonist will be impossible to imagine the 'causality' of the things that haunt him to despair and anguish or why Jack and Bill, agents of a secret society, which sought to kill him, when he himself is identified with a zero, with a being bland living outside of being or as a white dot on a white background. In fact, the only thing that keeps the character's interest to go unnoticed and continue with the investigations revolve around the thesis.

On the other hand, the swine breeding in the neighborhood are fed by underground buckets of stew, so that through the remains of the little food they can exploit their bodies for human consumption and other uses. These uses are veiled in mystery throughout the book will be resolved with the onset of hunger and curiosity to know the reason Canizares for his crime. The final stage, where each and every one of the fragments scattered throughout the book are his point of just resolution, is surprisingly bright. The hunger of the society in which the characters live in epidermal appearance, and the paradox that becomes with the appearance of some elements of technology is a vital response to the extinction of roof jacks and subsequent disappearance of the ostrich at the zoo, fed and gained by the director of the park for your family pot. Hunger, as we see, plays an essential role in the play: is the motive, motor and conceptual and critical axis, though hyped in the disappearance of other zoological species: "The bad example spread, and gradually the community was decimated crocodiles, certain species of monkeys, all birds, the occasional camel and other herbivores. " In Beasts, thus raising pigs for the survival of a society hungry and deprived of freedom has a symbolic resemblance to the surveillance and extermination of the subject by a secret society. Through a sometimes strange language, full of daring and linguistic blunders ("one body gerund of" brown people starting to "dovetail" waiter "enclaudiomismado", "sewer low", etc.), But explained by the Gross personality of a "Fat-writer-dealer of weapons and other objects (I)" which claims to be what is not (a good writer), a slide show on your part polyphonic end, consisting of a fragment of the thesis, a journal, an epilogue and confession of Bill at the gates of death, make the novel, in short, a kind of complex narrative structure that reminds us too much cinema.

But perhaps the best known of its production continue to be his short stories, fantastic cut and sometimes macabre point, remarkable for the conciseness of style, original treatment of topics and their ability to evoke post-romantic environment. Artemis Editions now recovered its most celebrated stories, the dead love, a story of obsessive love and vampirism which has preserved over time his power of fascination.
