About this product
Product Information
From the author of Veronica, a finalist for the National Book Award for fiction, comes Mary Gaitskill's most poignant and powerful work yet: the story of a Dominican girl, the white woman who introduces her to riding, and the horse who changes everything for her. Velveteen Vargas is an eleven-year-old from Brooklyn who is granted a summer vacation in the country, courtesy of the nonprofit Fresh Air Fund. Her host family is a couple in upstate New York: Ginger, a failed artist on the fringe of Alcoholics Anonymous, and Paul, an academic who wonders what it will mean to "make a difference" in such a contrived situation. Here we see the couple's changing relationship with Velvet over the course of several years, as well as Velvet's powerful encounter with the horses at the stable down the road, as Gaitskill weaves together Velvet's vital inner-city community and the privileged country world of Ginger and Paul. The timeless story of a girl and a horse is joined with the story of people from different races and socioeconomic backgrounds trying to meet one another honestly. It is a novel that is raw, striking, and completely original.

National Book Award finalist Gaitskill takes a premise that could have been preachy, sentimental, or simplistic...and makes it candid and emotionally complex, spare, real, and deeply affecting. Gaitskill explores the complexities of love (mares, meres ...) to bring us a novel that gallops along like a bracing bareback ride on a powerful Thoroughbred., A rich back-and-forth narrative that encompasses falling in love, growing up, and doing right in worlds of privilege and poverty., Remarkably tender, though thankfully not sentimental...A truthful meditation on the limits of birth and motherhood, surrogate motherhood, and mothering yourself., The juxtaposition of these women's lives...is dramatic. It's an education to see how different life looks filtered through the lens of privilege, race, and age., A raw, beautiful story about love and mutual delusion, in which the fierce erotics of mother love and romantic love and even horse fever are swirled together., In soaring language that well captures being 'in the zone,' whether it's painting or riding, Gaitskill brings home her theme of the importance of honoring one's gifts and the hard work of finding the best outlet for creative expression., The Mare ripples with internal emotional movement, but it is also a physical novel...An exciting read., Four excellent narrators tell Velvet's story through various points of view in alternating chapters. Each narrator perfectly defines the complexities of the character being portrayed, while showing different sides of Velvet...When Velvet's abusive but loving mother makes a rare appearance, it's memorable. At times, listeners will be wondering which character is telling the truth--and hoping that Velvet will make the right decisions in the end. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award., Bracing in its rigorous truth seeking, subtle and capacious in its moral vision, Gaitskill's work feels more real than real life.
