Readers Up: Welcome!
If you hit Subscribe, it's likely you're interested in racing literature--maybe equine literature as a whole, but specifically the Sport of Kings. I've mused previously on the lopsided corpus of Thoroughlit; I've been methodically chewing my way through the existing volumes, fiction and non, since winter 2016. I've got heavy hitters and under-sung gems lined up in the starting gate, so let's bask in Joe Palmer. Let's dig into the historic Black riders with Joe Drape and Edward Hotaling, conduct our gentleman's jump-jockeying with Dick and Felix Francis, get hopped up with Jim Squires and hit rock bottom with Jason Beem. Let's revisit the half-remembered childhood favorites of Joanne Hoppe and Joanna Campbell, fall in love with Tea Cooper, and remember why Marguerite Henry literally wrote the book on Thoroughbreds.
Part review and part reaction, this newsletter will arrive as I read (and I've always got a racing book in one hand these days). I'd love to hear what you're reading too: if you have thoughts on the book of the day, if there's a treasured volume you hope I happen upon. Drop a line!
Yours in discourse (or dischorse),
