It may seem a near impossible task to tell three totally different stories in such a way that the result becomes an exciting unity. Especially through the remarkable editing of 'Bees and Thoroughbreds' which not only suggests that unity but also realizes it. Matthew Geller has managed to bring it off while avoiding fragmentation and desorientation. Three people relate stories arising from their experiences in their various professions; a journalist talks about playing the horses, a female private detective about a dramatic case and a bee-keeper expounds the social structure of a bee colony. Fragments of the different stories seem to overlap just as withaphors do, which makes it appear as if the three narrators complete the others' stories with their own.
