A Duel of Bulls

A Duel of Bulls is the untold story of the contentious friendship that existed between Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles, set against the backdrop of Spain, the history of bullfighting, and the Spanish Civil War. This extraordinary literary biography tells the duelling narratives of Hemingway and Welles, exploring the history of their joint love of bullfighting, their impact on Spain, on literature and film, and the stories of the women who weaved in and out of their lives during the Spanish Civil War. Lyrical, and unafraid to take liberties when faced with the difficulties of conveying the lives and careers of two legendary self-mythologizers, A Duel of Bulls is a remarkable account of one of twentieth century arts most unlikely of friendships.
