Bristling with inspired observations and wild anecdotes, this first
collection offers a unique insight into the voice and mind of the
inimitable Hunter S. Thompson, as recorded in the pages of
"Playboy," "The Paris Review," "Esquire," and elsewhere.
Fearless and unsparing, the interviews detail some of the most
storied episodes of Thompson's life: a savage beating at the hands
of the Hells Angels, talking football with Nixon on the 1972
Campaign Trail ("the only time in 20 years of listening to the
treacherous bastard that I knew he wasn't lying"), and his unlikely
run for sheriff of Aspen. Elsewhere, passionate tirades about
journalism, culture, guns, drugs, and the law showcase Thompson's
voice at its fiercest.
Arranged chronologically, and prefaced with Anita Thompson's
moving account of her husband's last years, the interviews present
Hunter in all his fractured brilliance and provide an exceptional
portrait of his times.
