Mi novio Caballo

This is a love story between a girl and a horse. And, save for one rather obvious detail, it could be the story of any couple. They meet, fall in love, and build an intimacy composed of desire, tenderness, daily routines, and minor misunderstandings—a sincere love that does not seem so different from the bond between two people of the same species. Yet, loving someone is not enough to erase differences—especially when the world around them holds very firm ideas about what a couple "should" look like. With humor, a sense of the uncanny, and disarming tenderness, *My Boyfriend the Horse* takes an ostensibly absurd premise to its ultimate conclusion, exploring love, desire, and the conventions we use to try to tame both. It is a modern, amusing, and profoundly romantic fable that asks what makes a relationship "normal"—and what we are willing to do to defend what we love. For while fables may make us laugh, like all great love stories, they can also take a tragic turn.
