Welcome to another installment of One True Podcast! A wonderful scholar, raconteur, and true devotee to the ritual of bullfighting, Larry Belcher guides us through the ways Hemingway presents bullfighting in The Sun Also Rises. We explore what bullfighting meant to Hemingway, to Jake Barnes, and its function in the novel. Larry provides historical and cultural context to this controversial and foreign aspect of The Sun Also Rises.

Join us as we learn from Larry’s years of bullfighting fandom, his decades of living in Spain, running with the bulls, and working with Hemingway’s great masterpiece. Nobody ever lives their life all the way up, except for Larry Belcher.  

This episode is the sixth episode One True Podcast has dedicated to the centenary of The Sun  Also Rises this year. As with the rest of the episodes, we have supplemented our conversation with Larry Belcher with an excerpt from chapter 18 of the audio book of The Sun Also Rises, performed by William Hurt. Thanks to Simon and Schuster for their partnership.

So go grab your leather wine-bottles and enjoy the episode!
