Acclaimed novelist A. L. Kennedy unpeels the layers and explains the mechanics before dissecting them with surgical precision. Beyond the theatre, the costume and the well-worn plot she focuses on the fact that a man faces his death while a crowd looks on. The result is a startling confrontation with her own, and humankind’s, mortality. First published in 2000.

One of the best books of the year.

On Bullfighting casts an unofficial eye over a world of male exploit; the public spectacles are treated with a fresh particularity, the inner landscapes of pain with an ardent, high-risk honesty.
Julian Barnes
*
Informative, minutely observed and beautifully written.
The Independent

A strange and beautiful book.
