For matadors and aficionados, it is not a blood sport but an art, an ancient subculture steeped in ritual, machismo, and feverish attentions of fans and the press." "Edward Lewine explains Spain and the art of the bulls by spending a bullfighting season traveling Spanish highways with the celebrated matador Francisco Rivera Ordonez, following Fran, as he's known, through every region and social stratum. Fran's great-grandfather was a famous bullfighter and the inspiration for Hemingway's matador in The Sun Also Rises. Fran's father was also a star matador, until a bull took his life shortly before Fran's eleventh birthday." "Fran is blessed and haunted by his family history. Formerly a top performer himself, Fran has seen his reputation slip, and as the season opens he feels intense pressure to live up to his legacy amid tabloid scrutiny in the wake of his separation from his wife, a duchess. But Fran perseveres through an eventful season of early triumph, serious injury, and an unlikely return to glory."--BOOK JACKET. | |
