The Velvet Horn is a 1957 novel by American novelist Andrew Nelson Lytle. At the time of its publication, it was very well received both because of its ambitious scope, complex and dynamic style,[1] mythical character and diversity of characters.[2] Because of these characteristics, some critics compared the novel to James Joyce's Ulysses.[1]
