The A Bum Deal: An Unlikely Journey from Hopeless to Humanitarian It's feature *Starred Review* For a few years in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Rufus Hannah was a movie icon. He was the star of Bumfights, a series of underground videos in which homeless people fought each other for money and booze (mostly booze). This moving autobiography, cowritten with Hannah’s friend Barry Soper, takes him from his early years as the son of alcoholic parents, through his time of homelessness and habitual drinking, to the present day (he now works as a property manager and travels the country giving talks for the National Coalition for the Homeless). But the book’s most fascinating and unsettling segment involves Hannah’s years as a participant in Bumfights: he was beating people up and performing extremely difficult stunts, all for the promise of beer (and a vaguer promise of a small fortune, further down the road). Hannah’s recollections of his mental state at the time, of “the monster inside my gut that needed alcohol so bad,” of feeling “more like a pig than a man,” are almost heartbreaking in their honesty and intensity. Expect this remarkable story of personal redemption to receive considerable media attention. Read More>>

The A Bum Deal: An Unlikely Journey from Hopeless to Humanitarian Description

I was supposed to give a speech when I got the award, but I had no idea what to say. Given what my life had been like in recent years, I felt as if this were some kind of bad dream. I thought about being born in a small southern town, beginning my life by drinking beer from a baby bottle, getting kicked out of school, the whole army disaster, the crazy van trip out west, train jumping-and then, all those years I spent as a homeless drunk.

And, of course, the Bumfights-when I risked life and limb for booze while some kids filmed the whole damn thing. Looking at all this on paper, I wondered how any man could have survived.

And I noticed my hands. Even after a number of painful and expensive laser treatments the letters were still there, tattooed across my knuckles: B-U-M-F-I-G-H-T. I thought about the damage these hands had done-to me, and even worse, to my best friend...

The last thing Rufus Hannah expected the morning he climbed into an alley Dumpster was to have his life completely changed. It was the last thing Barry Soper expected either, when he spotted a homeless man sifting through the trash outside his apartment complex.
