A brilliant novel about a struggling writer trying to live idealistically in the shadows of the American Dream. Chester Sprockett, an anti-hero of the magnitude of Dostoevsky's Underground Man, tries his hand at love, writing, and sales. The narrative bounces back and forth between past and present, showing Chester's loss of innocence with rich humor laced with deep emotion.

My favorite scenes include a football game with famous dead authors and zombies and the chapter "Four 20s and a 10."

If you enjoy John Updike, Augustan Burroughs, or any of the classics, HORSE LATITUDES is the perfect read for you!

I loved Chester! This is his story and he kept me entertained throughout. In between the humorous quips and anecdotes, this story holds nuggets of insight.

Scenes from Chester's past, from childhood to early adulthood, are woven in and around his present day situation. We see the good and the bad of all that shaped him into the man he became. The writing is crisp. The characters a fun, motley assortment. A great book to escape into for any reason.
