Overview
A BBC Book At Bedtime. In 1959, two famous Spanish matadors who were best friends perished in the bullring. "Alex y Robert" is the witty, modern fable of their grandchildren: Alejandra, a young American woman determined to become a matador, and Roberto, a reluctant star Spanish bullfighter whom she recruits to help her. Part travel adventure, part cultural critique, the novel portrays man's complex relationship with animals and a new generation's surprising take on an ancient and controversial spectacle. "With Daria-like dry humor, the novel shows what happens when a yuppie teen from the New World takes up one of the oldest Spanish customs and breaks down the doors which have always been shut to women." - Huffington Post New illustrated edition in 6 x 9 inch format, featuring the author's Spain bullfighting photography.
