I didn't pay any attention to the title of this story until I typed it out just now. Hmmm.
I was amazed that a story that seemed so repetative and was about something so alien to me could be so interesting. It didn't matter that I understood basically none of the bullfighting terms, I just made up the images in my mind and the story came together.
I'm still not sure what it was about.

Men Without Women is a 1927 collection of short stories by Ernest Hemingway. In a letter to F Scott Fitzgerald dated September 1927, Hemingway tells that he originally wanted to find another title from the Book of Ecclesiastes (source of 'The Sun Also Rises') but, upon borrowing an Anglican vicar's bible, discovered that Rudyard Kipling and others had mined all potential biblical quotations, leaving him to come up with 'Men Without Women' off the cuff.
