It isn't easy to ride a mechanical bull. I lasted three seconds. It's one of those things you think you'd be good at and when you try you realize it's like everything else: you need to work at it. Rennie Ament's first book, MECHANICAL BULL, revels in those feelings: the intoxicating confidence of fantasy, the punchy fuck-it, the (often funny) reality check, the subsequent humbleness, and the dust-yourself-off-and-do-it-again. But it's not that linear; MECHANICAL BULL is all of it all at once. Linear thinking is a dead-end 'pilfered by sons of important men / who became important men / who made sons.'
--Sommer Browning
