Out Stealing Horses, published by the Twin Cities’ Graywolf Press, has won International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, Norwegian Booksellers Prize, the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize, and has been translated into 24 languages. The New York Times calls it, "a gripping account of such originality as to expand the reader’s own experience of life."
