Click here to buy the book "It's not true," says a character in Jane Smiley's funny, passionate, and brilliant new novel of horse racing, "that anything can happen at the racetrack," but many astonishing and affecting things do and in Horse Heaven , we find them woven into a marvelous tapestry of joy and love, chicanery, folly, greed, and derring-do. There are the geldings Justa Bob, the plain brown horse who always wins by a nose, a lovable claimer who passes from owner to owner on a heart-wrenching journey down from the winner's circle; and the beautiful Mr. T., raced in France and rescued in Texas, who is discovered to have some unusual and amazing talents. And then there is the Jack Russell terrier, Eileen, a dog with real convictions and the will to implement them. The strange, compelling, sparkling, and mysterious universe of horse racing that has fascinated generations of punters and robber barons, horse-lovers and wits, has never before been depicted with such verve and originality, such tenderness, such clarity, and, above all, such sheer exuberance.

Dave Weich , Powells.com The answer depends entirely on which horse you're talking about. In Horse Heaven , we meet horses bound for glory and others who suffer an endless succession of days locked in filthy stalls, neglected by their owners. Smiley takes us to the backside of Belmont and Hollywood Park, to breeding farms, veterinary hospitals, and auction houses where owners bid small (and not so small) fortunes on the prospects of young, untested, but immaculately bred fillies and colts. We wake up with trainers at five a.m. to be at the barn by six and take our morning walk past the stalls. We sleep in late in Paris and laze around in bed, contemplating acquisition. We run hard among brilliant twelve hundred pound beasts. In 1992

Click on the title to open for more information about the audio book. Jane Smiley: The All-True Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton Her new novel, set in the 1850s, speaks to us in a splendidly quirky voicethe strong, wry, no-nonsense voice of Lidie Harkness of Quincy, Illinois, a young woman of courage, good sense, and good heart. It carries us into an America so violently torn apart by the question of slavery that it makes our current political battlegrounds seem a peaceable kingdom. Jane Smiley: Moo Three years after her Pulitzer Prize-winning best-seller, A Thousand Acres, Moo acclaimed and best-selling novel of academe. As a microcosm of today's Western world, Jane Smiley gives us a Midwestern university nicknamed (in honor of its devotion to agriculture) Moo U. Jane Smiley: Horse Heaven Spanning two years on the circuit, from Kentucky and California to New York and Paris, Horse Heaven puts us among trainers and track brats, horse-obsessed girls, nervy jockeys, billionaire owners and restless wives. Here is the trainer of dazzling integrity and his opposite: a wicked prince of the tract, headed for still another swindle; here are the gamblers and hangers-on. And in an amazing feat of imagination, here are the magnificent Thoroughbreds themselves, from the filly orphaned at birth to the brown horse who always wins by a nose, a lovable "claimer" who passes from owner to owner on a heartwrenching journey down from the winner's circle.

A Thousand Acres Genre Novel (371 pp.) Keywords Cancer Child Abuse Children Family Relationships ... Trauma Summary Smiley's novel, King Lear (see King Lear in this database) with a shocking twist, portrays the enduring violence of incest to body and spirit. The narrative voice describes her familya wealthy farmer and his three daughters. Family relationships are explored, especially the hidden roots that shape and define behaviors and conflicts, some lasting a lifetime. The disclosure of a horribly dark secret explains the personalities of the three daughters and, for two, their metaphoric afflictions (infertility and breast cancer). Smiley's novel is layered with rich complexities, but none more powerful and astonishing than the core event, the sexual victimization of two vulnerable teenage girls who, as the story unfolds, are permanently scarred. Through a reinterpretation of Lear, Smiley demonstrates the cost of this hideous form of male domination and female victimization. Commentary This novel won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award.

33. Books & Authors - 98.05.28 In her latest novel, jane smiley lights out for the territories in search of slaveryand the American antiromance May 28, 1998 In a controversial Harper's http://www.theatlantic.com/unbound/bookauth/ba980528.htm

In her latest novel, Jane Smiley lights out for the territories in search of slavery and the American anti-romance May 28, 1998 I n a controversial Harper's essay titled "Say It Ain't So, Huck" (January 1996), Jane Smiley argued, in part, that "to invest The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn with 'greatness' is to underwrite a very simplistic and evasive theory of what racism is." With the recent release of Smiley's latest novel, The All-True Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton, it now seems clear that when Smiley wrote that article she was working through her own ideas of how one should treat race in fiction. A picaresque novel set in "Bloody Kansas" in the 1850s, when the territory was torn by violence over whether it should be admitted to the Union as a free state, Lidie Newton follows the escapades of its tomboy narrator as she experiences the extremes of opinion and the moral grey areas surrounding slavery.

I have noticed before that there is a category of acquaintanceship that is not friendship or business or romance, but speculation, fascination. As soon as you bring up money, I notice, conversation gets sociological, then political, then moral. In my experience, there is only one motivation, and that is desire. No reasons or principle contain it or stand against it. Your sons weren't made to like you. That's what grandchildren are for. My characters never die screaming in rage. They attempt to pull themselves back together and go on. And that's basically a conservative view of life.
