Further proof that a book needn't be about much of anything to still be deeply evocative of a particular point in time and space. The language is wonderfully spare, the relationships deeply fraught, and the characters caught up between what they want and what they are. A great piece of quiet intensity. ...more

Not a big fan of Hemingway. I find his female characters depressing and infantile and his writing tedious. Studied his big ones in American Literature and this one was the most tolerable.

This is, of course, the bull fight book but it is also aan examination of the personality of the main characters.

Sorry, but I'm not a Hemingway fan. I don't like his writing style or his machismo themes. ...more
