Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Winner of the Joyce Carol Oates Prize Finalist for the 2025 Oregon Book Award "Willy Vlautin writes about people overlooked by society and overlooked by literature. InThe Horse, he tells the story of a tenderhearted man who has a steady talent and a crushing addiction. It is both a work of extraordi…nary compassion and a really great novel.'Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Lake"A moving tale of suffering and redemption, The Horse portrays the immense gravity of what it takes to be human in tough times, and the elusive grace that might just be grasped from music, animals, and memory." Geraldine Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of HorseAward-winning author Willy Vlautin explores loneliness, art, regret, and hard-won empathy in this poignant novelhis most personal to datethat captures the life of a journeyman musician unable to escape the tragedies of his past.Al Ward lives on an isolated mining claim in the high desert of central Nevada fifty miles from the nearest town. A grizzled man in his sixties, he survives on canned soup, instant coffee, and memories of his ex-wife, friends and family he's lost, and his life as a touring musician. Hampered by insomnia, bouts of anxiety, and a chronic lethargy that keeps him from moving back to town, Al finds himself teetering on the edge of madness and running out of reasons to go onuntil a horse arrives on his doorstep: nameless, blind, and utterly helpless.Al hopes the horse will vanish as mysteriously as he appeared. Yet the animal remains, leaving him in a conundrum. Is the animal real, or a phantom conjured from imagination As Al contemplates the horse's existenceand what, if anything, he can dohis thoughts are interspersed with memories, from the moment his mother's part-time boyfriend gifts him a 1959 butterscotch blonde Telecaster, to the day his travels begin. He joins various bandsall who perform his songs once they discover his talentplaying casinos, truck stops, clubs, and bars. He falls in love, and finds pockets of companionship and minor success along the way. Never close to stardom or financial success, he continues as a journeyman for decades until alcoholism and a heartbreaking tragedy lead him to the solitude of the barren Nevada desert.A poignant meditation on addiction, heartbreak, and the reality of life on the road in smalltime bands, The Horse is a beautiful, haunting tale from an author working at the height of his powers.
