A thrill-ride adventure novel capturing the adventure,
mystery, legend, and lore of America “Year of the Horse” is
literary fantasy at its very bestaa novel that delves into our
myths, legends, hopes, and fears; a coming-of-age fable set in our
fondly remembered (if often fictional) pastaan adventure more than
capable of setting your hair on end. “Year of the Horse” tells the
story of Yen Tzu-lu, a child of Chinese immigrants unwillingly
pressed into service by a gang of roughnecks bent on stealing a
gold mine from a shadowy villain deep in the western wilderness.
With Tzu-lu as our guide, we experience a landscape of legend,
stand toe-to-toe with those larger-than- life heroes and villains
of our shared American mythos, and learn the inescapable facts that
have both enriched and plagued our nation from its inception.
Resonating with echoes of Mark Twain, Larry McMurtry, and J. K.
Rowling, this is a book of fabulous adventure and deep resonance.
Allen gives readers a picture of how America sees itself, and in so
doing he offers up both a heroic vision of the past and hope for
the future.
