Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Thompson’s voice still jumps right off the page, as wild, vital, and gonzo as ever…He amuses; he frightens; he flirts with doom. His achievement is substantial.” —Washington Post
“Just as Thompson paved his own way in writing about politics, sports, news and culture throughout the 1960s and ’70s, he now offers an autobiography that is typically unorthodox in style but still revealing previously unknown facts about its subject. Wavering between the uproarious and the lunatic, it’s vintage Thompson through and through…Characteristically incoherent at times, yet rollickingly funny throughout, Thompson’s latest proves that the father of gonzo journalism is alive and well.” —Publishers Weekly

Author Bio: Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson (1937–2005) was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. His books on politics and society were regarded as groundbreaking among journalists, and he was celebrated as one of the early practitioners of an outraged, irreverent form of highly subjective journalism that became known as gonzo journalism. His numerous articles for Rolling Stone and books like Hell’s Angels and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas brought him wide recognition and cultlike status.
