Jerzy Kosniski,

About this book

By the author of The Painted Bird and Being There: the story of a roving polo player who seeks fulfillment through transgression: "his best novel yet" ( The Harvard Crimson).

William Kennedy wrote in The Washington Post that "the Kosinski hero is unique in literature, as recognizable as the Hemingway hero used to be." In Passion Play , Kosinski conjures Fabian, perhaps the most romantic, violent, and lust-driven hero of them all. A modern knight-errant of his own moral code, Fabian roams America in his custom-built VanHome, his refuge, transport, and stable for his two horses.

His livelihood is polo—not the millionaire's team sport, but the life-threatening duel of clashing horsemen. The prize is more than money and honor; it is the awareness of having drawn upon every resource of body and mind, of man and horse in danger.

Passion Play is a masterpiece of violence and seduction, love and loss, by one of the world's greatest writers.
