# 2022 National Book Festival: Geraldine Brooks Talks About Her New Novel, "Horse"

A discarded painting, a skeleton in an attic, and the greatest racehorse in American history: From these strands, Pulitzer winner Geraldine Brooks braids a sweeping story of spirit, obsession and injustice across American history in "Horse." Based on the true story of the thoroughbred Lexington, "Horse" is a novel of art, science and love and our unfinished reckoning with racism. Moderated by Marie Arana.
