About the Book

“(Innis’) balanced yet stirring description of the bullfight becomes the subtext for his sensitive depiction of the life of a dedicated artist.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Amusing portrait of the artist as an earnest schlemiel, leavened with an ironic, Hemingwayesque admiration of its south-of-the-boarder setting...brilliantly executed.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Finely drawn with a cunning display of detail and internal emotional conflicts, this bittersweet tale...reveals much of the inner nature of human courage, love and ambition.”

—The Dallas Morning News
