Bright's Passage by Josh Ritter, 193 pages.
PTSD before anyone knew about PTSD or realized that it could have looked like a horse who spoke to you with the voice of an angel, a horse who told you where to go with your infant son, now that your wife was dead, an angel-horse who had turned his back on Christ and knew your infant son would be the new King of Heaven. The horse could really be the angel you saw in France, or it could have been way too many shells falling too near Henry Bright while he was over there during the first World War. Josh Ritter's book is strange, haunting and beautiful, and many of the questions it asks are never really answered.
