Description
There's what we know...and what we assume. Running of the Bulls, a Tor.Com Original from fantasy and science fiction master Harry Turtledove. You are all a lost generation, she said back then. And anyone who looked at them as they spun their dizzy way through life would have had a hard time telling her she was wrong. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.Tags

It is a little difficult to know quite how to rate a story that so obviously takes Hemingway and throws in few (unnecessary) science fiction elements, such as the fact that the bulls have feathers and the writer at the center of the story, who has suffered an injury in the war that the doctors couldn't quite fix, has a tail and a snout! But after just reading a few longish short stories by writers with literary pretensions and the vocabularies to go along with them, it is a relief to read something written so directly and effectively by a writer who puts storytelling front and center. Highly recommended, and available to read for free on the Tor website.
Turtledove really pulled me in with this one. Makes one think I need to read more Hemingway.

Harry Turtledove was born in Los Angeles, California on June 14, 1949. He received a Ph.D. in Byzantine history from UCLA in 1977. From the late 1970's to the early 1980's, he worked as a technical writer for the Los Angeles County Office of Education. He left in 1991 to become full-time writer. His first two novels, Wereblood and Werenight, were show more published in 1979 under the pseudonym Eric G. Iverson because his editor did not think people would believe that Turtledove was his real name. He used this name until 1985 when he published Herbig-Haro and And So to Bed under his real name. He has received numerous awards including the Homer Award for Short Story for Designated Hitter in 1990, the John Esthen Cook Award for Southern Fiction for Guns of the Southand in 1993, and the Hugo Award for Novella for Down in the Bottomlands in 1994.
