- Annotation
- Discusses bullfighting as a symbolic art form representing societal relations, shifting gender roles, and national identity. Reads Death in the Afternoon as an explanatory defense of the complexities of both bullfighting and Hemingway s iceberg style. Concludes with discussions of the thematic significance of chapter twenty to the entire narrative, Hemingway s theory of writing, and preeminence in the modernist tradition.
