Death in the Afternoon

Bullfighting: its history, traditions, rituals, fear and passions; for Papa this spectacle was like the writer's search for meaning and the essence of life, also a contemplation on cowardice and bravery, and above all 'the emotional and spiritual intensity and pure classic beauty that can be produced by a man, an animal, and a piece of scarlet serge draped on a stick'.
