For those who get Playboy “only for the fiction” here’s a story in the March issue by RPCV, Mark Jacobs (Paraquay 1978-80) entitled, “The Bull You See, the Bull You Don’t.” It is about Alice, a young American woman in Madrid, who finally figures out what she needs to do to get away from a husband who is lost in a fantasy of an acting career that isn’t going to happen. Her path to freedom goes through a bullring of sorts.
