The Restraint of Beasts
''The Restraint of Beasts'' is a tragicomic debut novel, written by Magnus Mills. In it, an anonymous narrator 'the foreman' works for a Scottish fencing company, run by Donald who is consumed by work and the desire for 'efficiency'. The narrator is promoted to foreman and put in charge of Tam and Richie who prefer a 'Laissez-Faire' approach to work and so are at odds with both their management and their new foreman.
Mills' deadpan narrative voice is at times either revealing or naive, and both these interpretations of the narrator are supported throughout the text- it is up to the reader to decide where the narrator is ironic or genuinely emoting.
==Plot introduction==
The novel starts with a phone call, "Mr McCrindle's fence has gone slack", and sees the three main characters duly dispatched to the scene of Tam and Richie's previous job, which they have left in a hurry. The ensuing Kafkaesque incidents set the tone for the rest of the novel, where Tam, Richie, and the narrator find themselves 'sent off' to England in work-related 'exile'.
