- Annotation
- Describes the two historical bullfights that Hemingway conflated in the account of his first bullfight in the Toronto Star essay Bullfighting a Tragedy and later Death in the Afternoon. Mandel argues that recovering the actual details of Hemingway s first bullfight is important because his immediate, intense response to that event sparked his life-long involvement with Spain and resulted in some of the best American writing of this century.
