The Corrida at San Feliu (1964) is a complex, experimental novel by English author Paul Scott. The story centers on the unfinished manuscripts of Edward Thornhill, a novelist who dies in a car crash with his wife. Through these writings, the book blurs the line between art and reality, examining the emotional fallout of his wife's adultery and a final epiphany at a bullfight.
The narrative is constructed in a highly self-conscious, post-modern style. Rather than telling a single linear story, the book is a "novel within a novel". It flickers between Thornhill's fragmented versions of his life as he tries to process his wife's betrayal in various settings (Africa, India, and Spain).
