About This Book

A laconic narrator follows a circle of disaffected expatriates through urban social life and a journey to northern Spain to witness bullfighting and a local festival. Their drinking, gambling, and tangled romances reveal tensions of unrequited love, jealousy, and wounded pride, while the narrator’s restrained voice records moments of exhilaration and quiet despair. Episodes in cafés, hotels, and the bullring interweave with reflections on courage, ritual, and aimlessness, yielding a spare, elliptical account of postwar disillusionment and emotional exile.
