The Bullfighter Checks Her Makeup (2001) - Plot & Excerpts
She doesn’t know where she’s going from here. She has an apartment in Paris and a house in Beverly Hills, a room key in Manhattan, the story of Hollywood of the late sixties and seventies in her head, and no particular plans. She fidgets around the room. She wants to open the window for you or lend you a sweater if it’s open too much or get you cappuccino and a nice breakfast even if the temperature is perfect and you want nothing to eat. She has the fussy, buzzing restlessness of someone who wants to be occupied doing something for someone else. Her phone rings. “Yes, hello,” she says, answering impatiently. “No, no, I don’t want to go to the Russian Tea Room. I was there the other day, and it was so . . . stressful.” She coughs and listens, staring hard at the floor. “Okay, we can do the Russian Tea Room. We can do it.”She will be having lunch with Helen Gurley Brown, an old friend. After that, she’s not sure. She doesn’t think she’ll stay long in New York.
