"Passion Play" is the story of Fabian, Kosinski's most romantic and driven hero. A modern knight-errant, he roams America in his custom-built VanHome, his refuge, transport, and stable for his two horses. His livelihood is polo -- not the millionaire's team sport, but the life-threatening duel of clashing horsemen. The order prize is more than money and honor; it is the awareness of having drawn upon every resource of body and mind, of man and horse in danger.
