Kick the Latch

Kathryn Scanlan

Leslie Jamison,
The New Yorker
Nothing has brought back the thrill of...the pleasures of excavating strangeness from banality—as sharply as reading the prose of Kathryn Scanlan.

The vignettes that make up Kathryn Scanlan’s horse-racing anti-epic, Kick the Latch, are models of compression.

I thought I knew everything there was to know about the track, by living it, by writing it, until I read Kathryn Scanlan’s dazzling novel, Kick the Latch—which is another thing altogether and an extraordinarily accurate picture of a life based on the love of racehorses.
