Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Kathryn Scanlans Kick the Latch vividly captures the arc of one womans life at the racetrackthe flat land and ramshackle backstretch; the bad feelings and friction; the winners circle and the racetrack bar; the fancy suits and fancy boots; and the particular language of grooms, jockeys, trainers, racing secretaries, stewards, pony people, hotwalkers, everybodywith economy and integrity.Based on transcribed interviews with Sonia, a horse trainer, the novel investigates form and authenticity in a feat of synthesis reminiscent of Charles Reznikoffs Testimony. As Scanlan puts it, I wanted to preserveamplify, exaggerateSonias idiosyncratic speech, her bluntness, her flair as a storyteller. I arrived at what you could call a composite portrait of a self. Whittled down with a fiercely singular artistry, Kick the Latch bangs out of the starting gate and carries the reader on a careening joyride around the inside track. About one womans fine, hard life at the racetrack, Kick the Latchwith its ruthless concision and artful mysteriesis lightning in a bottle Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
