520 Few American lives are stranger, more action-packed, or
wilder than that of Hunter S. Thompson. Born a rebel in
Louisville, Kentucky, Thompson spent a lifetime channeling
his energy and insight into such landmark works as Fear
and Loathing in Las Vegas--and his singular and
provocative style challenged and revolutionized writing.
Now, two of his colleagues have interviewed the Good
Doctor's friends, family, acquaintances and colleagues,
from Hell's Angels leader Sonny Barger to Ralph Steadman
to Jack Nicholson to Jimmy Buffett to Pat Buchanan to
Marilyn Manson and Thompson's two wives, son, and longtime
personal assistant, and woven their memories into an oral
biography. It's all here in its uncensored glory: the
creative frenzies, the love affairs, the drugs and booze
and guns and explosives and, ultimately, the tragic
suicide. As Thompson was fond of saying, "Buy the ticket,
take the ride."--From publisher description.
