Kick the latch

Kathryn Scanlan

Based on transcribed interviews with a former racehorse trainer from Iowa, ‘Kick the Latch’ is a stunning work of fiction that investigates form, authenticity and idiosyncratic speech. This is a patient and attentive exercise in radical listening, whittled, shaped and reimagined to tell the story of one woman’s fine, hard, pungent life at the racetrack in 100 tough, side-of-the-mouth nuggets.
