Question
A short story opens by describing the appearance and eating habits of three practitioners of this activity: a coward, a faded novelty, and a man hiding an illness. In a novel, when a man says that the other participants in this activity are his best friends, a woman flirtatiously reading his palm asks, “You kill your friends?” and he replies, “Always.” While simulating this activity, a dishwasher fatally stabs a waiter by accident in the story “The Capital of the World.” In a non-fiction book on this activity, an author introduced his “iceberg theory” of writing. A man skillfully performs this activity with a swollen face after Robert Cohn beats him up in a novel by that author, who profiled this activity in the book Death in the Afternoon. For 10 points, in The Sun Also Rises, Pedro Romero performs what activity in an arena in Pamplona? ■END■
