A discarded painting in a junk pile, a skeleton in an attic, and the greatest racehorse in American history: from these strands, the author tells a sweeping story of spirit, obsession, and injustice. Based on the remarkable true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred, Lexington, who became America's greatest stud sire, Horse is a multi-layered reckoning with the legacy of enslavement and racism in America. From a Pulitzer Prize winning author.
