Photographs by Bruce Gilden Story by Dermot Healy Set in rural Ireland against the background of the on-course gambling which operates at the many local race meetings that are held throughout the country, this extraordinary collaboration between two great artists, combines powerful black and white portraits with vividly atmospheric storytelling. A powerful synthesis of exhilirating texture, it combines the direct and the surreal to create a rivetting and dynamic portrait of an aspect of Irish rural life. 50 duotone plates.
