To love something is to observe it with more than usual attention, and that is precisely what Smiley does in this irresistibly smart, witty, and engaging chronicle of her obsession.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn particular she follows a sexy filly named Waterwheel and a grey named Wowie (he “tells” a horse communicator that he wants it changed from Hornblower) as they begin careers at the racetrack. Filled with humor and suspense, and with discourses on equine intelligence, affection, and character, A Year at the Races is a winner.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAbout the Author:\u003cbr\u003e\nJane Smiley is the author of numerous novels, including, most recently, Good Faith, as well as a critically acclaimed biography of Charles Dickens. She is the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize and was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2001. Smiley owns several horses and lives in Northern California.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"About this title\" may belong to another edition of this title. Excellent Condition.
