I really enjoyed this, actually! Honestly, it sounded a lot like something I would write. Everything is very metaphorical and poetic. Seeing as this novel is a scant 128 pages, a lot has to fit in there so there's a good amount of reading between the lines to be done. This was one of my favorite books that I have read for my program thus far, however. If you take the time to look into the beautiful sentence structure that makes up this book, the themes (mainly childhood and coming-of-age) are developed with impeccable skill. If you don't like that sort of thing, though, this will get very tiresome, very fast. At the beginning, I wasn't paying attention to the word choice and was instead frustrated by the lack of obvious overarching plot. While this is a full novel because of it chronology and overarching themes and characters, it could also make it's way in the world as a short story collection. You do have to look in order to see what's there. Just to get you started, I'll give you a hint: in the beginning chapter, the author uses 'we' and repetition of sentence structure to emphasize that point while in the last chapters, there is a distinct use of 'I' (and generally separate pronouns).The Final Verdict:Though you have to dig a little to find it, there is a cache of gold at the center of this novel.4.5 stars
3.5/5I love the opening line of Anna Karenina: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.†Unhappy families all have their own special brands of dirty laundry and dark secrets.But it’s rare that you get to see what makes an unhappy family so unhappy (unless, of course, you have the misfortune of coming from one). People often keep their unhappiness behind closed doors.We the Animals opens those doors. Wide.A little family background:-- A fourteen-year-old white girl gets pregnant by her sixteen-year-old Puerto Rican boyfriend.-- They drive to Texas to get married (they are from New York, and she’s too young to get married there).-- Over the course of three years, they pop out three kids.-- They move to upstate New York in search of a better life.-- She works the graveyard shift at a brewery; when he works, he works odd jobs. He’s better at drinking than working.-- The three kids, all boys, are wild and thick as thieves.At the start of the book, the unnamed narrator (who speaks in first person plural, referring to himself and his two brothers) is seven. His older brothers, Joel and Manny, are nine and ten, respectively. Paps calls the boys “mutts†(“You ain’t white and you ain’t Puerto Rican.â€).Ma and Paps are reckless, abusive, desperate, young, and immature. They are still growing up, despite having the responsibility of three mouths to feed and minds to shape. Their parenting choices are questionable at times and atrocious at others–they smother the three boys with love and need in one moment and treat them like absolute s*** the next.The book (at a scant 128 pages, it’s more of a novella, really) is told in vignettes that span about a decade. There’s the time Ma comes home on the narrator’s birthday after having been beaten until she’s purple. There’s the time Paps shows the boys how to dance the mambo like a “purebred†in the kitchen. There’s the time Ma and the boys act like Gallagher in the kitchen, smashing tomatoes and tubes of lotion and bottles of ketchup until they’re covered in slime and goo and look like newborn babies. There’s the time Paps tries to teach Ma and the narrator how to swim by taking them to the middle of a lake and leaving them there to fend for themselves.Each chapter is like the telling of a distinct, vivid memory (some separated by days, others separated by years). They are snapshots that range from the joyful to the excruciating.As soon as I finished reading the book, I went online to find out if it is autobiographical. It seemed like Torres was drawing from personal and painful experience. It is frighteningly and heartbreakingly real. And, not surprisingly, there is a lot of truth in his novel. The author has said in interviews that the facts are autobiographical, but the incidents are fictionalized.We the Animals takes you on an emotional roller-coaster ride. That’s a played-out description, I realize, but here it is apt. There were times when I laughed out loud and times when I felt sick to my stomach. There’s a lot of love in this book, but there’s also betrayal and abuse and devastation.Reading this book feels vaguely voyeuristic. You’re reading someone’s family secrets, and it feels a little wrong . . . but you want to do it anyway.Who should read it: fans of short fiction (this is more like a collection of related short stories than a traditional novel); people who like emotionally-wrought memoirs.
We The Animals is a somewhat autobiographical coming-of-age story of a young boy growing up in an unusual family environment. The boy lives with his two older brothers and his decisively young parents, who conceived their first child when the mother was fourteen years old. The parents are mixed race, with a Puerto Rican father and a white mother. The storyline follows the boys through various events that shape their upbringing, such as going to work with their father as a night watchman and feeling the judgment of one of his coworkers, or watching the dynamic of his mother and father as they fight physically, then show moments of passion and deep love for one another and the family that they have raised together. Torres himself hates to label this family as "dysfunctional," for it is simply the dynamics of any family that give rise to the struggle of providing for the family mixed with strong feelings of love.There are sincere moments of family love in novel. The narrator and his brothers are being bathed by their mother and father, who then fall into a spell of affection and leave the boys to shower each other with passion. Consequently, there are other moments, for example, when the narrator's mother has not heard from her husband in weeks and contemplates running away with her sons. The father repeatedly calls the house phone in front of the boys, who, however young they are, are forced to decide for their mother whether she should take them away or let them stay in the house and answer the phone calls of her husband. The novel is filled with absurdly warm moments, partnered only by those that are depressing and difficult to read. We the Animals is a heartbreaking, yet hopeful novel, for we are to understand that the narrator eventually finds himself and finds his way out of the confusing family life he had grown up in.Torres' voice is one that is unique in itself, he writes from the standpoint of a mixed race, queer individual. He hopes that the novel provides readers with an emotional connection to their own lives, for, as he points out, "a coming-of-age novel is like a coming-out novel, but for straight people." The book reads quite fast, with just over one-hundred pages, yet draws you in from the start and urges you to finish it in one setting. It is a deep novel that hurts to read and fully understand, yet provides a sense of guidance and acceptance, as you are reading, knowing that the author had the ability to grow up out of his troubled youth and share his story.
