Or the Bull Kills You: An Evening with Eugene Costello

Or the Bull Kills You: An Evening with Eugene Costello

Join Valencia-based journalist and author Eugene Costello at Book Lovers Valencia on Thursday 22 October at 20:00 for an evening of conversation, readings and book signing.

In Or the Bull Kills You, Eugene charts his journey through kidney failure, dialysis and a transplant at Valencia’s Hospital Doctor Peset.

With candour, dark humour and gratitude for the people who kept him alive, he writes about fear, friendship and finding a way forward when life takes an unexpected turn.

Eugene will discuss the experiences behind the book, how he turned them into writing, and making a home in Spain.

There will be time for questions and signed copies, including his novels Puta Madre and Beyond Puta Madre.

Come along for stories, conversation and proof that even a hospital stay can provide material — although there are easier ways to research a book.
