All Intensive Purposes

One of this site's commentator's, M., lent me her copy of On Bullfighting, with the daunting recommendation that it was one of her favorites. It's quite good, really. Scottish writer A.L. Kennedy mixes some history collected through her own reading and reportage. Her own story intrudes as well, and an intrepid reader may draw a parallel between the bullfighter and this writer. If M. won't lend you her copy, get your own.
