Actually, epic’s not a muscular enough word. The 4 volumes are the equivalent to Wisden compiling a list of every cricket green ever played upon. Or the train enthusiast’s record of every locomotive built. It is history in meticulous, eccentric micro-magnification. At some point over the centuries anywhere worthy of a name had a race meeting. And Slusar records details of every single one.’ Melanie Reid:-The Times 23rd January 2017. Read The Times Review and the Racing Post Review. All enquires to John Slusar email johnwslusar@gmail.com |
