The following references and citations are what I contributed to this body of work.
Abstract: The narrative of the story raises questions about its validity due to the unique, yet perplexing combination presented for aficionados of the corrida, as depicted by the unrelated photographs and text written by Norman Mailer. This paper aims to explore whether there is a parallel between Norman Mailer's works and Hemingway's prose, using the same title. By comparing Hemingway's eloquent work to his own, Mailer acknowledges that the title does not fit the narrative. In contrast, Hemingway's work represents the true meaning of the title through his narrative and photos.
