The Bullfighter Checks Her Makeup is a collection of essays by Susan Orlean published in 2001 by Random House. It was her first book after her 1998 work The Orchid Thief. ReceptionKirkus Reviews wrote "some essays work better than others, but in general the collection is marred only by a few too many run-on sentences and the occasional quick ending, giving the impression that the author was writing to hit a certain word-count".[1] The New York Times offered a more favorable assessment, noting that such collections of journalistic essays must "be timeless,...remarkable and the voice so consistently engaging that it triumphs over lack of plot and sprawl of subject," but that Orlean "clears the bar with ease."[2] Emiliana Sandoval, reviewing the work for Knight Ridder, noted that the older stories in the collection could "seem stale", but that the "gems" of the collection -- "The American Man, Age Ten" and "Her Town"—made the work well worth reading.[3] Time Magazine asserted that the profiles rarely miss, and were as much about place as person, noting the supporting role that Clackamas County, Oregon played in the Tonya Harding piece.[4]References1. ^Kirkus Reviews, 1 November 2001 {{DEFAULTSORT:Bullfighter Checks Her Makeup}}2. ^{{Cite news|url=https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/01/01/28/reviews/010128.28hardet.html|title=Cape Work|last=Harden|first=Blaine|date=28 January 2001|work=The New York Times|access-date=3 September 2018}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/23404650/new_yorker_spins_tales_of_ordinary/|title=New Yorker Spins Tales of Ordinary People|last=Sandoval|first=Emiliana|date=20 January 2001|work=Pensacola News Journal|access-date=3 September 2018}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,999285,00.html|title=Books: The Bullfighter Checks Her Makeup|last=Orecklin|first=Michelle|date=21 February 2001|work=TIME|access-date=}} 2 : 2001 non-fiction books|Books by Susan Orlean |
