Reviews
"Bill Hillmann is one of the few who can articulate the chaotic scramble of runners, the icy chill of being gored, and the healing power of nearly bleeding to death on a filthy street in Spain." -- Esquire "Bill Hillmann is courageous. I'm grateful there have been many aficionados in the United States like Hemingway and Hillmann." -- Mario Vargas Llosa recipient of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature "Hillmann is one of the last and most serious Hemingwayites." -- Cuarto Poder (Spain) "Hillmann describes each town and its local bull-running tradition, but he can't confine himself to observation, stepping onto the course and sprinting ahead of the charging bulls, recounting, as if he were writing while running, the exhilaration of the experience...In this way, more than one hundred stories accumulate, peppered with profanity (he just can't leave the F-word alone). While this may offend or distract some readers, others will fully enjoy the audacity of purpose and intensity of expression Hillmann brings to a subject he's passionate and knowledgeable about." -- Booklist, "Bill Hillmann is one of the few who can articulate the chaotic scramble of runners, the icy chill of being gored, and the healing power of nearly bleeding to death on a filthy street in Spain." -- Esquire "Bill Hillmann is courageous.

Synopsis
A gripping and one-of-a-kind memoir about both travel and the inner life of a bullrunner Author has received widespread media coverage for his past bullrunning exploits, and has many high-profile friends in that community Planning lots of promotional work in the U.S. and Spain, In 2014, author and bullrunning expert Bill Hillmann was gored in the streets of Pamplona by a bull named Brevito who left a baseball-sized wound in his thigh. Two years later he returned to Spain, eager to run with the bulls again. Bill was on a mission to run a hundred and one bull runs over the course of the summer, putting his marriage and his life on the line in a quest to explore the breadth and depth of the Spanish bullrunning tradition alongside the nation's top runners, many of whom had become fast friends. It was an exhilarating trip, full of fun and danger in every town--a trip that almost cost him everything. Now he's chronicled the experience, in a memoir of remarkable power and honesty. It's a perfect book for an age when everyone, it seems, is looking to leave their boring ordinary life behind and become a viral internet sensation; more importantly, it's a pure visceral thrill ride, a pulsing rush of blood and adrenalin. Open this book and you can follow Bill on his remarkable odyssey to the edge of human endurance, and past the limits of sanity. You, too, can hear the thunder of clattering hooves on the pavement behind you, feel the warm wet breath of the beasts on your bare skin, and glance back at the sharp tips of the horns as they thrust towards you. Come along...if you dare.
