Braves Mexico
 The Brave Bulls (Southwestern Writers Collection Series) $16.95 I first read Tom Lea's The Brave Bulls in a Penguin edition in the middle 1950s and was captivated by its description of the life of an itinerant pair of Mexican bullfighter brothers as they travel and work around the bullrings of Mexico in the late 1930s or 40s. The description of the ritual and significance of the bullfight and the contrast between the poetic ideal and the gritty reality is very strong, but it gives the gringo reader an idea of the appeal of this rather one-sided sport. I bought a recent copy through Amazon to give to my son who had just seen a bullfight in Madrid and wanted to know more about the subject. Highly recommended, though maybe a period piece by now.
