Sometimes inspiring, sometimes fatalistic, but always lyrical and thought-provoking, Domecq examines the human condition from a unique viewpoint. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA pet canary is caught between her nesting instinct and her desire for solitude. A jaguar is guardian spirit to a middle-aged woman. And in the title story, a young girl is transformed during recess into a wild stallion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese and other tales, told with irony, wit, and compassion, keep the reader on the bittersweet edge between tragedy and comedy. Kayla Garcia's free-flowing and literary translation makes the reader forget that the narrative is not in the original English.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Christian University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780875653259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.04w x 0.66d","brand":"Brianda Domecq","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52933473468597,"sku":"9780875653259","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/when-i-was-a-horse-and-other-stories-9780875653259","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
