Catalogue Note
Hemingway spent the "dangerous summer" of 1959 at La Consula, near Málaga, the estate of the wealthy American expatriate Nathan (Bill) Davis and his wife Annie. He celebrated his 60th birthday there in grand style, but much of the summer was taken up by attending bullfights. His account of bullfighting season, focused on the rivalry between Luis Miguel Dominguín and Antonio Ordóñez, was published in Life in 1960.
