Question: What did Ernest Hemingway write about the Pamplona Bull Run & Bullfighting?
Answer: Hemmingway's novel The Sun Also Rises features the running of the bulls at the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona. It is not a book about the San Fermin festival, but it does have a graphic description of the running of the bulls which has helped popularise the event in English-speaking countries.
The Sun Also Rises was called ¡Fiesta! in the UK and Spanish editions.

Contrary to popular belief, Hemmingway's Death in the Afternoon isn't about the bull run - this is about bullfighting in general. Death in the Afternoon is a non-fiction book and so might be a better starting point if you want to read about Hemmingway's views on bullfighting.
