The Making of Toro

Mark Sundeen embarks on a humorous journey to write about bullfighting in Spain, despite lacking experience and language skills. After misusing his book advance, he explores bullfighting in Mexico, only to find it lacking the grandeur he sought. To cope with his inadequacies, he creates an alter ego, Travis LaFrance, channeling the spirit of Ernest Hemingway. This leads to a comical exploration of dreams and delusions, revealing the challenges of transforming mundane life into high art, making it a sly and poignant tale of literary aspiration.
