Death in the Afternoon

Ernest Hemingway

Hemingway's meditation on bullfighting and craft, and the source of his Iceberg Theory: the strength of a thing comes from the mass beneath the surface. The book borrows this as a model for identity: the small visible action rests on the far larger structure of accumulated practice. Book 1 draws on it in Chapter 6.
