Death in the Afternoon is one of the most important books ever written about bullfighting, but it is not just that. With a distinctly literary language, Hemingway finds here the opportunity to speak not only about Spain and its people but also about literature, art, honor, bravery, death, in a straightforward and raw manner, often touching, sometimes provocative, or even infuriating.
Some of the stories of the bullfighters are among the most heartrending ever penned by this great writer, who here, perhaps more than in any other of his books, demonstrates his literary prowess.
