The Village on Horseback · Prose and Verse, 2003-2008

*The Village on Horseback* features mesmerizing new work from the author of *Samedi the Deafness* and *The Way Through Doors,* one of the *New Yorker’s* Best Books of 2009. This collection of new pieces by experimental writer Jesse Ball is a philosophical recasting of myth and legend. Unearthing parables from the compost heap of oral tradition, folklore, literature, and popular culture, *The Village on Horseback* can be read as a sort of fabulist’s compendium by an author who has been called charming, lyrical, fanciful, and "disturbingly original."
