“Imago’s remounting rescues a thrilling thoroughbred of a work sadly stabled for far too long.” The Oregonian

Shepard’s folly, poetry and dark humor in Geography of a Horse Dreamer (1974) seems to be a riff off his rock-music battle for stardom in his renowned work A Tooth of Crime (1972), where Shepard fuses rock and roll, drugs and crime to populate a world of a fireball-music gang leader Hoss who is crazed about fame. These fantasy universes are overflowing with the passion and angst for art, love for the American West and Shepard’s disillusionment with the American Dream.
