Animal spectacles
A. L. Kennedy's highly acclaimed reflections on the bloodiest of the blood sports - 'as artful as a matador's final pass' (Esquire).

Bullfighting - the ultimate spectator sport.

Acclaimed novelist A. L. Kennedy unpeels the layers and explains the mechanics before dissecting them with surgical precision. Beyond the theatre, the costume and the well-worn plot she focuses on the fact that a man faces his death while a crowd looks on. The result is a startling confrontation with her own, and mankind's, mortality.

Reviews for On Bullfighting

An exploration of the bullfight in all its facets - be it sport, art form or stylized torture. The author (perhaps surprisingly, a prize-winning female novelist) discusses the obsessive pull of watching man and bull face death, the powerful sexual symbolism, and the theatricality of the choreographed spectacle. A maelstrom of ideas. (Kirkus UK)
