ha, there's a couple of reasons why I can't bring myself to pick this up. As the son of a compulsive gambler, horse racing brings me out in shudders. I also read Scanlan's flash fiction collection "The Dominant Animal" and even though I've published 5 collections of flash myself, her book really left me cold.
Fair enough! I haven't read any of her other works, but I usually don't really get on with flash fiction (I'm honestly not too familiar with the genre, to be fair). This does read more like a cohesive whole than most collections of flash fiction that I've read. It's structure definitely isn't for everyone though.
@@jamesnm21 yes, i know. She did some phone interviews with her or something along those lines. Would be very interested in reading the transcripts. I'm usually not interested in biographical content, but man that book is richtig.
I hear what you’re saying about the abuse of horses or any animal for that matter it’s very tragic horses and other animals also get used in military actions a very interesting example is a horse named Sergeant reckless who saw combat action in Korea there’s actually a statue of her somewhere The dialogue that you read from the book sounds very interesting I don’t think there’s any trade occupation in the world which if looked at perceptively would not be very fascinating Samuel Johnson once said that he could write the biography of a broomstick and make it work so I guess what I’m basically trying to say is that it’s all in the writer yeah you were commenting on how the book opened up a window onto a floor in the world which you never visited Later br

This is very different from her other works. Would be interested in taking a look at the source material.
