The Dangerous Summer

The Dangerous Summer is a nonfiction book by Ernest Hemingway published posthumously in 1985 and written in 1959 and 1960. The book describes the rivalry between bullfighters Luis Miguel Dominguín and his brother-in-law, Antonio Ordóñez, during the "dangerous summer" of 1959. It is one of two books Hemingway wrote about bullfighting, the other being Death in the Afternoon (1932). The Dangerous Summer has been cited as the last book Hemingway wrote, although at the time of his death in 1961, he had several unfinished manuscripts which were later published by his family.
