ALSO BY A. L. KENNEDY
Night Geometry and the Garscadden Trains
Looking for the Possible Dance

So I Am Glad
A. L. Kennedy
On Bullfighting
A. L. Kennedy, the author of three novels and two
short story collections, has received six awards for
her writing, including the Somerset Maugham Award,
the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, and the Encore
Award. She lives in Glasgow.
One day, on the brink of despair and contem¬
plating her own mortality, novelist A. L. Kennedy
is offered an assignment she can't refuse, an
opportunity to travel to Spain and cover a sport
that represents the ultimate confrontation with
death: bullfighting.
The result is this remarkable book,
which takes Kennedy and her readers from the
living room of her Glasgow flat to the plazas del
and inside the mesmerizing, mystifying, brutal, and beautiful
world of the bullfight. Here the sport is death: matadors (liter¬
ally "killers") are men and, increasingly, women who, not unlike
the Roman gladiators before them, provide a spectacle to the
crowd, a dance in which their own death is as present as that
of the bull. Wonderfully relaying the elements of the sport,
from the breeding of the bulls and the training of the matadors
to the intricate choreography of the bullfight and its strange
connection to the Inquisition, Kennedy meditates on a culture
that we may not countenance or fully understand but which is
made riveting by the precision of her prose and the passion
and humor of her narrative. |
