Horse A Novel presents an intricate narrative centered on a legendary racehorse and the people whose lives intersect around its history. Through shifts in time and perspective, the story traces connections among art, science, and the legacies preserved in archives and collections. The novel follows characters who uncover and interpret fragments of the past, drawing out the meanings held within artifacts, paintings, and skeletal remains. Their work takes place in spaces both public and hidden, from museum galleries to vast, carefully ordered storage facilities. Set against this evocative backdrop, the book explores how observation, research, and material evidence can illuminate questions of identity and memory. Each scene is constructed with attention to physical detail, allowing readers to sense the textures of studios, barns, and laboratories as the narrative moves between centuries. The result is a layered portrait of how stories endure through careful stewardship and the enduring resonance of an extraordinary horse.
