Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From the author ofA Cure for SuicideandCensuscomes a philosophical recasting of myth and legend, folklore and popular culture: a fabulist's compendium of poetry and prose.Jesse Ball-long-listed for the National Book Award, a finalist for the New York Public Library's Young Lions Fiction Award, and named one ofGranta's best young American novelists-is one of the most interesting, lyrical, fanciful, and "disturbingly original" (Chicago Tribune) writers working today. AndThe Village on Horsebackis one of his most dazzling and varied works. These experimental pieces-including theParis Review's Plimpton Prizewinning novella "The Early Deaths of Lubeck, Brennan, Harp & Carr"-ask the reader not to imagine the world for what it is, but for what it could be: a blank tableau on which a spirited imagination can conjure tales out of, seemingly, nothing.The Village on Horsebackis an unmissable treat, a book of voyages to be taken on journeys far and wide. "The Village on Horseback" features mesmerizing new work from the author of "Samedi the Deafness" and "The Way Through Doors, " one of the "New Yorker's" Best Books of 2009. This collection of new pieces by experimental writer Jesse Ball is a philosophical recasting of myth and legend. Unearthing parables from the compost heap of oral tradition, folklore, literature, and popular culture, "The Village on Horseback" can be read as a sort of fabulist's compendium by an author who has been called charming, lyrical, fanciful, and "disturbingly original."
