Summary
A century after its debut, Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises” still sends Americans flocking to Pamplona for the San Fermin festival—where the author’s vivid, dangerous prose turned bull runs into a global obsession. Bill Hillmann, who’s run with the bulls hundreds of times and survived three goring incidents, embodies the novel’s enduring pull. Tour operators credit Hemingway with making the festival a must-do, while Pamplona’s streets echo with his legacy—from hotels to bars to his preserved suite. Yet, the writer’s shadow casts a complicated glow: locals grapple with overtourism, activists protest his romanticized view of bullfighting, and some joke about places “Hemingway wasn’t here.” Still, for many, the raw thrill of running with the bulls—art, danger, life, and death—remains timeless, proving that one book can still make people leap into the fray.
