Book synopsis

This is a superb collection of interviews with one of the most controversial, admired, and influential writers of the twentieth century.In 1971, the outlandish originator of gonzo journalism, Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005) commandeered the international limelight with his best-selling comic masterpiece "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".Following his 1966 debut "Hell's Angels", Thompson displayed an uncanny flair for inserting himself into the epicentre of the major sociopolitical events of a generation. His audacious, satirical, rants on American culture have been widely read and admired. Whether in books, essays, or collection of his correspondence, his incisive voice and style are unmistakable.This volume brings together a collection of personal interviews that trace the trajectory of Thompson's prolific and much publicized career, revealing his determination, energy, outrageous wit, and irrepressible passion.
