Ex-US Marine, Lala, Matador

Darrel, an ex-US Marine, in his last year of medical school, falls in love with Lala, a Spanish artist, while on vacation in Spain. She introduces him to bull-fighting in the streets, corrida, and a matador. Collisions of American and Spanish mentality, a clash of Darrel and the matador, and the bohemian and bull-fighting atmosphere of Spain make this novella a fun and thought-provoking read.
