About this ebook
Bullfighting!? Get serious about yourself, Chester!
Dondisha Phillips, the kindergarten teacher who loves him, Chester, you could get hurt messin around with those bulls.
Chester trips to Mexico City. He spends time in the projects called Tlaltelolco before he does an espontaneo/jumps into the bullring during a fight in the Plaza Mexico. He does four suicidal passes and is taken under the wing of an unscrupulous promoter, -- re-named Matador, Juan Negro, Azucar.
Seor Flores holds him as an indentured servant/bullfighter until Maya de las Reyes, the great Mexican artist, bails him out.
He returns to Chicago to work under his father in Gelmans Electronic Affairs. He uses his knowledge of the bullfight to create a
bullfighting video game (funded by Mr. Gelman) that makes him a wealthy twenty some year old.
Whenever he is asked about his year as a Matador, he answers, I lit my fire, I greased my skillet and I cooked.
