Synopsis:

"Bill Hill is the Rill Dill."&;Kent and Keith Zimmerman, authors of Hell's Angels, Rotten, and Operation Family Secrets

"Hillmann knows the streets, and he also knows how to tell stories&;you might know his work from the Chicago Tribune, Salon.com, and NPR. So it's not surprising to see him deliver a big, sprawling, lacerating, steely-eyed account of one young man's coming of age in a mixed-race family in Chicago."&;Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal, on The Old Neighborhood

With a journalist's ear for detail, renowned storyteller "Buffalo" Bill Hillmann narrates his decade-long journey of self-discovery, exploring his transformation from wasted ex-Golden Gloves champ lost in gang fights and cocaine deals on Chicago's streets to running with a world-renowned crew of mozos&;the masters of running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

Bill Hillmann is a Golden Glove Champion, union construction laborer, novelist, and bull-runner in Spain, gored last summer by a bull named "Bravito" in an incident covered by global news outlets. His first novel The Old Neighborhood was declared "Best Novel of 2014" by Chicago Sun-Times, selected by Library Journal as "Top Indie Fiction: 30 Key Titles Beyond the Best-Sellers List for Spring/Summer 2014," and received rave reviews from Booklist, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Reader, and the Week. Hillmann's journalism has appeared in Playboy, the Washington Post, Esquire, Chicago Tribune, Toronto Star, the Globe and Mail, Salon.com, and NPR. He has run with the bulls for a decade, contributing coverage of the run to Esquire and Outside Magazine.
