Book description
'Hot damn! Let us rumble, keep going and don't slow down ... let's
have a little fun ...'
In his much-anticipated memoir, Hunter S. Thompson looks back on a
long and productive life. It
is a story of crazed road trips fuelled by bourbon and black acid,
of insane judges and giant
porcupines, of girls, guns, explosives and, of course, bikes. He
also takes on his dissolute youth in Louisville; his adventures in
pornography; campaigning for local office in Aspen; and what it's like
to accidentally be accused of trying to kill Jack Nicholson.
Alongside this 'depraved and terrifying adventure', Hunter S.
Thompson exposes the darkness at the heart of America today: a time
when the 'goofy child President' and the New Dumb have taken control,
and the nation thralls to Bush's War on Terror, War on Evil, War on
Iraq, and even War on Fat ... a time when fear and loathing are
greater than ever.
Hunter S. Thompson was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. His
books include Fear and Loathing in America, Hell's Angels, Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas, The Proud Highway, Better Than Sex and The Rum
Diary. Dr Thompson lives in a fortified compound near Aspen, Colorado.
