This title in other editionsFear and Loathing: The Strange and Terrible Saga of Hunter S. Thompsonby Paul Perry
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Fear and Loathing creates a sharp and savvy profile of one of the most provocative voices and distinctive personalities of our time. To Hunter S. Thompson, being a Gonzo journalist means doing whatever it takes to get to the truth; everything from dropping acid with Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters in the 60s, to participating in wild orgies and getting his nose broken while chronicling life with the Hell's Angels, to founding the Freak Power Party and running for sheriff of Aspen in 1970. A virtual icon, Thompson has regularly trashed the prime directives of reporting-accuracy and objectivity-yet he nonetheless always produces some of the sharpest political and cultural analysis around. Surrounded by submachine guns, fistfuls of colorful pills, and the ubiquitous Wild Turkey, Thompson careens through his life and career, unfolded in this book in all its decadence. New art by Ralph Steadman and over 20 black-and-white photographs are featured. Synopsis:The first biography of "Gonzo journalist" and American legend Hunter S. Thompson, creates a sharp and savvy profile of one of the most provocative voices and distinctive personalities of our time.
