During horse racing season, on May 21 at 2:30, we will discuss Horse by Geraldine Brooks at St. Matthew’s.
A discarded painting in a junk pile, a skeleton in an attic, and the greatest racehorse in American history: from these strands, a Pulitzer Prize winner braids a sweeping story of spirit, obsession, and injustice across American history. Spanning three centuries, from 1850 Kentucky to 2019 Washington DC, Horse—based on the remarkable true story of of the record-breaking thoroughbred Lexington—is a multi-layered novel of art and science, love and obsession, and our unfinished reckoning with racism.
Save the date: On July 16 we will discuss The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish.
