Description: The novel "explores the meaning of storytelling in a narrative of shifting memories, desires, dreams, and perceptions. A medical supply salesman calls at a Mexican ranch, where he discovers a pornography ring and a pair of mysterious miniature horses. His attempt to rescue one of the animals from mistreatment sends him on the run. In the course of his bloody, bewildering adventures, he encounters a fantastic assortment of friends and enemies with strange connections to his past and finally experiences an epiphany of sorts in a deserted marble pit. Or perhaps his tale is merely part of a story being told by a sickly youth in another time and place. Or it is all myth?"--Library journal.
