A propos de cet article

Sullivan has found the transcendent in the horse.--Sports Illustrated Winner of a 2004 Whiting Writers' Award One evening late in his life, veteran sportswriter Mike Sullivan was asked by his son what he remembered best from his three decades in the press box.

In the words of the New York Review of Books, Blood Horses reads like Moby-Dick as edited by F. Scott Fitzgerald . . . Sullivan is an original and greatly gifted writer. Wisdom that is both personal and universal . . . Brilliant--Chicago Tribune A splendid account of [the] Triple Crown . . . In horses' beauty and power, and with their hint of danger even when schooled, Sullivan senses a restoration of what has been lost to us.--The New York Times As unconventionally lovely a book as you are likely to read for some time.--The Arkansas Democrat Gazette A clear picture of a highly specialized world . . .

Its appeal isn't limited to the equine crowd.--0Outside John Jeremiah Sullivan is a writer-at-large for GQ and a contributing editor at Harper's Magazine.…
