Shoal Hope
“…a period piece in period style, namely naturalism. …using the means of naturalism to explore an issue much larger than naturalism ever did...…or perhaps, explore what naturalism was blindly groping towards, namely an understanding that the pervasive human tragedy can only be made sense of if you include the tragedy of the relationship between humanity and the natural world.“
