In 1959, two famous Spanish matadors who were best friends, died. "Alex y Robert" is the witty, modern fable of their grandchildren: Alejandra, a young American woman determined to become a matador, and Roberto, a reluctant star Spanish bullfighter whom she recruits to help her. Part travel adventure, part cultural critique, the novel portrays man's complex relationship with animals and a new generation's surprising take on an ancient and controversial spectacle.
