Hunter S. Thompson, Douglas Brinkley
Though Thompson casts himself as a wild man, he's also a precisionist. Second, he
has ungodly energy: these letters are just the warm-up and spilloverfrom his fiction,
journalistic pieces and his first book, Hell's Angels. Third, funny as he is, he's dead
serious about his art and his reputation: he made carbons of all these letters. . . . In
this volume, . . . we savor the tension between the world's bland indifference and
Thompson's proud, aggrieved, half-desperate--yet always comic--sense of rightness and
self-worth. Later on he wrote even better, but he never hit just these notes again.

Hunter S. Thompson,Ralph Steadman (Illustrator)
First published in Rolling Stone magazine in 1971, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
is Hunter S. Thompson's savagely comic account of what happened to this country in the
1960s. It is told through this writer's account of an assignment he undertook with his
attorney to visit las Vegas and "check it out." The book stands as the final
word on the highs and lows of that decade, one of the defining works of our time, and a
stylistic and journalistic tour de force.
