“Sangre De Toro”, a Novel About the Reality of the Bullfighting Mafia

"Sangre De Toro" is a novel that delves into the reality of the bullfighting mafia, written by author Rachael Adam and reviewed by anti-bullfighting campaigner Jordi Casamitjana. The novel follows the story of Pepelito, a bull who escapes a bullfight and finds refuge with a detective investigating a series of murders. The book intertwines two thrillers, one from the perspective of the bull and the other focusing on the crimes being investigated.

Casamitjana praises the novel for its well-written narrative, educational value, and insight into the world of bullfighting. The book addresses the cruelty of bullfighting, the sentience of bulls, and the presence of a powerful bullfighting mafia with connections to political figures. While some elements of the story may fall into the realm of magical realism, overall, "Sangre De Toro" effectively fictionalizes the harsh reality of bullfighting, shedding light on the torture and abuse that still occurs in some countries.
