This month, we’ll be discussing The Horse by celebrated American novelist and singer-songwriter, Willy Vlautin. In his latest novel, he returns to many of the themes of his previous fiction: loneliness, isolation, addiction and the relentless toll of life on the road.
65-year-old Al Ward is hiding out in a disused Nevada mine, haunted by memories and with his songs his only solace. When a horse suddenly appears outside one winter, Al is forced unwillingly back into the present to confront his past failures and help the beleaguered animal.

Critical acclaim for The Horse:
‘Vlautin has gifted us a paean to the power of song. The Horse is another classic from one of America’s greatest storytellers.’ – Jonathan Evison
‘Tremendously compelling…The Horse is as succinct and wrenching as a well-honed folk song.’ – Killian Fox, The Guardian
‘A terrific parable of art and aging.’ – Jess Walter
