Novillera: Alex Y Robert 2

Novillera: Alex Y Robert 2
Novillera: Alex Y Robert 2

Bullfighting journey; authentic, photographic, immersive sequel.

If the world of bullfighting piques your curiosity, "Novillera" might just be the literary adventure you're looking for. Author Wena Poon's dedication to authenticity shines through as she brings the raw, exhilarating experience of the arena to life. Along with the visceral storytelling, the book's original photography adds a visual layer that invites you into the heart of the matador's world. A sequel that stands strong on its own, "Novillera" could captivate both aficionados of the first novel and newcomers alike.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In 2010 the novel Alex Y Robert was broadcast as a BBC Radio 4 Book at Bedtime. It enchanted British audiences with the unlikely tale of an American woman matador in modern Spain. In order to write "Novillera", its sequel, Wena Poon left no stone unturned. She trekked across Spain and France, hung out with trainee bullfighters, braved fly-ridden bull ranches, and fought 12 small toros in order to deliver to readers the closest fictional approximation of a front row seat with "crystal-clear surround sound". Featuring original black and white photography shot in and out of the bullring.
