Kick the Latch

This is quite short, a single-sitting read if you're inclined, and told as a series of vignettes from the perspective of a woman who works in the horse-racing industry. It's interesting (and kind of horrifying) to take a look into this odd world, full of violence and machismo but also moments of surprising tenderness, but given that the text is based off of conversations the author had with a real-life inspiration I found myself wondering why it wasn't just a work of non-fiction. Strange read.
