Kick the latch

£9.99

Based on transcribed interviews with a former racehorse trainer from Iowa, 'Kick the Latch' is a stunning work of fiction that investigates form, authenticity and idiosyncratic speech. This is a patient and attentive exercise in radical listening, whittled, shaped and reimagined to tell the story of one woman's fine, hard, pungent life at the racetrack in 100 tough, side-of-the-mouth nuggets.

We dispatch items as soon as possible. If they are in stock, we typically dispatch books within two days. If we have to order them from our suppliers, it can take a little longer. We dispatch pre-orders on the date the book is published. We use Royal Mail second-class in the UK, and send books via standard international delivery to the EU and the rest of the world. In the UK delivery should take 3-4 days, in the rest of the world it could be a week or two. If you need a quicker delivery, we are happy to explore other options - please just get in touch at contact@verandabooks.com
