Which American author wrote 'Death In The Afternoon', a non-fiction work about Spanish bull fighting?
"Death in the Afternoon Death in the Afternoon is a non-fiction book written by Ernest Hemingway about the ceremony and traditions of Spanish bullfighting, published in 1932. The book provides a look at the history and what Hemingway considers the magnificence of bullfighting. It also contains a deeper contemplation on the nature of fear and courage. While essentially a guide book, there are three main sections: Hemingway's work, pictures, and a glossary of terms. Any discussion concerning bullfighting would be incomplete without some mention of the controversy surrounding it. Toward that end Hemingway commented, ""anything capable of arousing passion in"

In Spain, the frequent evisceration of horses in bullfighting arenas pushed Miguel Primo de Rivera to mandate the use of a protective cape, called the peto, in 1928. Thereafter, opposition to bullfighting sharply decreased. In 1932, Ernest Hemingway wrote ""Death in the Afternoon"", which describes the indefensible side of the murder of these horses from the perspective of his contemporaries, although he himself found them funny.
