In “How to Survive the Running of the Bulls of Pamplona,” Chicago author Bill Hillmann notes the annual event has the potential to be as “idiotic” as it is “daring.”
The 32-year-old should perhaps mention the role of luck in future editions of the recently-released e-book.
On Wednesday, Hillmann was gored in the leg by a charging bull after he took a slip, his publisher said.
The bull’s horn apparently pierced Hillmann’s leg and came out the other side, said Victor Giron, who owns the Chicago-based publishing company Curbside Splendor. And while the injury is serious, the author is recovering in a Spanish hospital and hopes to continue a European book tour for his first novel, “The Old Neighborhood,” Giron added.
