‘Well . . .yes, and here we go again’ Dr Hunter S. Thompson

Indeed we do. Here, in one chunky volume, is the best of gonzo. From Private Thompson in trouble with the air force, to the devastating portrait of the ageing Muhammad Ali. Taking in the Kentucky Derby, Freak Power in the Rockies, Nixon in ’68, McGovern in ’72, Fear and Loathing at the Watergate, Jimmy Carter and the Great Leap of Faith – and much more. An indispensable compendium of decadence, depravity and horse-sense.

‘Hunter Thompson elicits the same kind of admiration one would feel for a streaker at Queen Victoria’s funeral’ William F. Buckley

‘No other reporter reveals how much we have to fear and loathe, yet does it so hilariously. Now that the dust of the sixties has settled, his hallucinated vision strikes one as having been the sanest’ Nelson Algren

Flaptekst

h all its warts, lies naked under the laser-like scrutiny of legendary outlaw journalist and brilliant reporter Hunter S. Thompson. Fearlessly, he hurls himself into each assignment, gouges out the truth, then returns with a fresh story no one else on earth could write. From Nixon to napalm, Las Vegas to Watergate, Carter to cocaine, hippies to himself, Thompson's razor-sharp insight and crystal clarity capture the crazy, hypocritical, degenerate, and redeeming aspects of the explosive and colorful '60s and '70s. Thompson is a rebel and an artist, and we are all richer for it.
"No other reporter reveals how much we have to fear and loathe, yet does it so hilariously."

There he goes!

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 27 mei 2020

Geverifieerde aankoop

Some kind of high powered mutant, never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live and too rare to die. The life and times of Hunter S Thompson, a very powerful energy that transcended class, structure, logic, reality, sense, senselessness...This compilation is vast and diverse in content and structure of writing and thinking. You really get a sense of being part of the thought process in every statement and obscure tangent throughout these articles. Coined the term gonzo journalism, living and breathing words on paper. The titled piece The Great Shark Hunt particularly will stay with me for many years, such incredible ability to bring this reader into the world he's experiencing it's as if it happened in my own life like a true life memory or dream. Not all easy or a pleasure to read by a long chalk but such is real life and you can definately feel when things got on top for him. Some articles are ripped right out of the darkest depths of his psyche but he always powered through with boundless determination doing whatever he needed to to get full coverage. The Trials and tribulations of a high functioning searcher of lifes mysteries with a hunger and lust for life few will ever know. Superb!

Hilarious and insightful

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 25 januari 2008

Geverifieerde aankoop

Thompson's overview of the USA from(approx)1965 to 1977,with some earlier material written while travelling around South America.It's great,but you'll need to know a bit about US politics and contemporary US history-as it's journalism,it assumes the reader has some knowledge of what was happening at that time in the USA.
The downfall of Nixon,the begining of the west coast counter culture(hippies,Hell's Angels,the Diggers,psychedelia),the rise of Carter,his adventures with a crazed chicano lawyer(later to be the base of "Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas")-all here in it's gory details.
The funniest sequences are when Thompson discovers that he isn't on Nixon's Enemies List,and his description of President Johnson allegedly ordering the spreading of rumours about another candidate to the effect that Johnson's opponent was in the habit of enjoying sex with farmyard animals.
If you're offended by colloquial English,drugs,radical politics,human sexuality,rock music or honesty,go elsewhere.Otherwise you'll have a whale of a time.

A right move for any of Dr.gonzo's aficionados !

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 27 september 2015

Geverifieerde aankoop

As holding some of the best H.s Thompson early writings, this book is now a part of my bookshelves, and I advice it strongly ; especially in trying to find it on Amazon, were it can be purchased at a reasonable expense !! I'm only starting afresh it's reading, but his childhood as the milkman's little helper & his military file as a pain in the ass newsman in the air force are standing stone documents for the ones who might wonder how he started out at all...
