Review - Courting the Bull

Sorry for not posting much lately. I've had some pending matters that have required my undivided attention but not so much so it stopped me from reading Courting the Bull - An anthology of expatriate literature in Spain.

For anyone interested in what Spanish life is like, I recommend buying this book.  Plus, you'll be supporting your fellow expats.  Broken down into three sections, the first is a collection of essays describing different experiences and the reasons the writers chose Spain as their adoptive home.

Next comes some short stories with Mediterranean Lady Seeks A Friend, a noir-ish tale of scams before the euro being my favorite. I just wish it were a bit longer. Hector a tale of a working-joe is another standout. But they're all entertaining and offer a diverse view-point.

Finally, there's some poetry. I have to admit, I'm not a big fan which speaks more for me than the art form, but I found myself pleasantly surprised by how the writers were able to capture Spain and the life here.

So there you have it. Buy the book.
