![]() ![]() Morgenstern is boring and terribly descriptive (and from the side commentary it felt, to me, that Godman wanted it to seem like he did some sort of Tolkien-styled world-building, with pages and pages of descriptions) which is why this “version” is abridged and Goldman tells the reader exactly what pages he removed and why. It’s safe enough to say that it doesn’t exist.Īccording to Goldman, the novel written by S. ![]() ![]() It’s genius, and if you’re as oblivious as I was when I first read this book, you might go off searching for the original book. However, it actually starts with an excerpt of Goldman’s childhood and then moves into the story itself which is then constantly interrupted (like Max does in the movie, and me now I might add) by Goldman’s commentary in Italics which adds the comedy to the story. The confusing part is that if you didn’t do any research on the book and movie before picking it up at your local library or bookstore, you expect the same setup from the movie with the grandfather reading the book to his sick grandson.

Warfield promises Harry Lewis, a talented Black trainer, an interest in the racehorse in lieu of a year’s wages - an exciting prospect, since Lewis hopes to use any future winnings to buy the freedom of his son Jarret, whom Warfield has enslaved. The action then shifts to 1850, to the day Lexington is born on the Kentucky farm of the physician Elisha Warfield. Weeks later, when the couple begin to fall in love, Theo will wonder how to answer the question of how they met, since “being tacitly accused of bike theft wasn’t exactly a meet cute.” The encounter is awkward: Theo, who is Black, recognizes Jess as the white woman who had earlier confronted him when she thought he was stealing her bike. ![]() Theo takes the artwork to the Smithsonian for evaluation and is introduced to Jess, who is restoring the skeleton of the same horse for an exhibit. ![]() The novel opens in Washington, DC, where art historian Theo is rescuing a painting of Lexington, one of America’s most renowned racehorses, from his neighbor’s trash. Yet readers who appreciate rigorous historical research and polished storytelling should certainly stay the course.
