Book description
A compilation of the subversive, important and entertaining writer
of Hunter S. Thompson - renowned American writer of Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas
'It would not do to be found in the desert under these
circumstances: firing wildly into the cactus from a car full of drugs...'
Fear and Loathing at Rolling Stone showcases the evolution of
the writer of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Hell's
Angels, through his work at the magazine that he helped to put on
the map. Jann S. Wenner, Hunter Thompson's editor and friend for
nearly thirty-five years, has chosen the pieces, including many never
collected before. They show how Thompson's Rolling Stone
writing, when taken as a whole, forms an extended, allusive
autobiography of the writer himself as he pursues his lifelong
obsession, the king-hell story of them all: The Death of the American Dream.
Hunter S. Thompson was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. His
books include Hell's Angels, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Fear and
Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 and Kingdom of Fear. He died in
February 2005
