In order to write Novillera, its sequel, Poon trekked across Spain and France, hung out with trainee bullfighters, braved fly-ridden bull ranches, and fought 12 small toro in order to deliver to readers the closest fictional approximation of a front row seat in \"crystal-clear surround sound.\" \"I had all these typical urban hipster preconceived notions about bullfighting.\" - Wena Poon in the VICE interview \"The Beauty and Moral Ambiguity of Bullfighting\". \"Not since Hemingway have we seen such an insightful treatment of the divisive subject of bullfighting.\" - Asia Literary Review. \"Shows what happens when a yuppie teen from the New World...realizes her destiny to take up one of the oldest Spanish customs and break down the doors which have always been shut to women.\" - Huffington Post. Re-issued as a 2nd edition in a 6 x 9 inch format, with a book jacket to match the new \"Alex y Robert: The Illustrated Edition.\" Includes a new foreword by the author on women and bullfighting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wena Poon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 153706438X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781537064383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Wena Poon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800372621567,"sku":"9781537064383","price":17.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/novillera-wena-poon-9781537064383","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
