For months this great gamble consumes him, makes him as wary and combative as if he was in a ring himself. And, as he becomes ever more distant, his lover Sakiko is unsure if she would like to see him succeed or be destroyed.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs much a story of post-war Japan as it is about the country's special brand of bullfighting, this novella is a masterly exploration of hope, ambition and despair. Yasushi Inoue's novella won him the prestigious Akutagawa Prize and established him as one of Japan's most acclaimed authors. From the planning of a bullfight, through Tsugami's struggle, his focus and his solitude - he crafts something intensely memorable, a profound and compelling existential tale.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53741789675834,"sku":"9781805332022","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0868\/6449\/4906\/files\/9781805332022.jpg?v=1784165066","url":"https:\/\/titlemusicfilmbooks.com\/products\/bullfight","provider":"TITLE ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
