Of the horses I have followed, the 3-year-old phenomenon Adept stands out the most. He is the most beautiful red-haired stallion I have ever seen. And how superb he was. He knew his worth. In the horse ring at Jarlsberg before the Scandinavian Grand Prix he was to participate in, this was probably in 1957, he gave a triumphant whinny, which sounded so loud that I have never heard the like! It still rings in my ears and will ring there as long as I am aware that I am alive. At the age of twelve, Dag Solstad gets a job running with result lists at Jarlsberg racecourse, and with it gets bitten by the trotting bug. In A True Swirl! we follow Solstad's great passion for the sport, where he believes he will find the true classless society. We are taken on the ups and downs of legendary horses such as Frances Bulwark, Steggbest, Sugarcane Hanover, Gentle Star, Jens and Leif Protector, Toyota Moulin and Rex Rodney, with pedigrees and lap times, jockeys and owners. We witness Solstad's first kiss and join him on a roof terrace in Sorrento where many years later he sits and writes Professor Andersen's Night. There is a great levity in Dag Solstad, an infectious love and enthusiasm, and like no other he makes the sport of trotting appear as an art form. This is the book for all those who love trotting, and for all who thought they would never be absorbed by this sport.
