‘A Horse at Night’ is a meditation on reading and writing fiction and how it might shape one’s life and on what it means to love literature, art, landscape and people. It is a book as interested in lightness as it is in seriousness, in reverence and in coarseness, in plainness and in excess. And it is a book that contemplates how to be honest, open and free, as a person and a writer, even – and especially – during a time of great change. A treasure trove of inspiration and reflections, ‘A Horse at Night’ illuminates our cultural and everyday worlds in unexpected ways to both profound and joyous effect.
