This was an unexpected one. The ladies had the rare opportunity to see a screener of On Swift Horses before it hit theaters AND were so moved, they immediately picked up the novel. What they found was a quietly powerful story about hidden desires, queerness, aching isolation, and the pursuit of freedom. They break down the breathtaking adaptation—moody, magnetic, and charged with longing and how it both mirrors and deepens Shannon Pufahl’s stunning prose. And if you stick around to the end, you’ll get to hear from Shannon herself. Yep—they got to interview her, and she was absolutely incredible. Thoughtful, generous, and just as brilliant as her writing. You don’t want to miss this one.
