The horses in All the Pretty Horses are ubiquitous but rarely the
center of attention. Their depiction is surprisingly authentic and
without anthropomorphization. This book illustrates how an
equicentric reading offers new insights into the novel's spaces,
characters, and relationships. It features comparisons with popular
horse-narratives and an equicentric analysis of the novel's gender
relations. How does horsemanship redefine masculinity? What is the
inherent connection between femininity and the equine? This book
answers these questions from an equicentric perspective, while
taking into account patterns of anthropocentrism and misogyny. In
addition, the focus is on the narratees and on how the degree of
equine experience they bring to the narrative may enhance the
horses' figurative significance.
