Synopsis "Novillera: The Illustrated Edition"
In 2010, Poon's novel Alex y Robert was broadcast as a BBC Radio 4 Book at Bedtime and enchanted British audiences with the unlikely tale of an American woman matador in modern Spain. 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.
