reviewed Death and the Sun: A Matador's Season in the Heart of Spain on January 29, 2014 Death and the Sun
This was a truly absorbing book. A debt goes to Francisco Rivera Ordonez, as well, for allowing a writer to join his entourage.
Lewine gives us an appreciation for this art by taking us into the life not just any matador, but one who wears the mantle of his fathers.
We learn about how the crowds vary from city to city, how the bulls are bred and selected, the attitude of the "bull press", the history of the game. We learn how to appreciate the matador's movements and about the nature and of his entourage. We learn about costumes, the genteel way to buy scalped tickets and how to run with the bulls in Pomploma and much more.
Pictures would have been great, but the writing is so good they're not missed until the book is over. I went to Francisco's web site where there are lots of photos, small and unlabeled, but many you can figure out.
Through the writer's respect for the matador, and Fran in particular, the reader learns respect as well.
OLE!
