Description
Kick the Latch is a novel that brings to life the world of horse racing with vivid accuracy and economy. Based on transcribed interviews, the book offers a unique insight into the lives of those who work at the racetrack, from the backstretch to the winner's circle.
The novel explores the complex relationships and tensions that exist among the people who work in this world, from the grooms and jockeys to the trainers and racing secretaries. With its focus on the 'particular language' of the racetrack, the book provides a fascinating glimpse into a unique and often misunderstood world.
