Below is a link to our Editor’s translation of Chapu Apaolaza’s excellent open letter to the (current) Mayor of Pamplona about bullfighting. This is written in Chapu’s guise as spokesman for the Fundación del Toro de Lidia, ‘Foundation of the Fighting Bull’, with whom he has also been working. He add that in Chapu’s guise as author, he will be signing copies of his seminal book on Pamplona, 7 del Julio, in a new translation by Larry Belcher, who will also be reading from it – as will the Editor and Joe Distler and others – at the iconic Pamplona Café Iruña at midday on July 9th.
Two days before that, Larry, Joe, Dennis Clancey and John Hemingway and the Editor’s new book, The Bulls Of Pamplona, will be being sold and signed in front of Maceliano’s at 1pm (July 7th.)
