The answer came as a surprise. \"I was at Secretariat's Derby, in '73. That was ... just beauty, you know?\" John Jeremiah Sullivan didn't know, not really—but he spent two years finding out, journeying from prehistoric caves to the Kentucky Derby in pursuit of what Edwin Muir called \"our long-lost archaic companionship\" with the horse. The result—winner of a\u003ci\u003e National Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e Award and named a Book of the Year by \u003ci\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/i\u003e magazine—is an unprecedented look at Equus caballus, incorporating elements of memoir and reportage. In the words of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBlood Horses\u003c\/i\u003e \"reads like Moby-Dick as edited by F. Scott Fitzgerald . . . Sullivan is an original and greatly gifted writer.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49326907195696,"sku":"BDdlhq","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/410863-dlhq-Square.jpg?v=1733667811","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-dlhq","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
