Keep This Quiet! captures the fear and loathing, charm and romance of Hunter in the late Sixties - along with tales of two other underground authors. Included are genuine, funny letters he sent Margaret during and after the publication of Hell's Angels. Also, priceless reminiscences of some of Hunter's oldest friends: William Kennedy, David Pierce, Rosalie Sorrels, and editor Jim Silberman - covered in no other account. Featured in addition are "poète maudit" Jan Mensaert and Greenwich Village "poet genius"/guru Milton Klonsky. Also, Hunter's sidekick Oscar Acosta.
Review Comments:"Margaret Harrell's Keep This Quiet offers an illuminating look at Hunter S. Thompson in full throttle trying to make it as a Top Notch prose-stylist. Harrell fills in many important biographical gaps. A welcome addition to what is becoming the HST cottage industry. Read it"—Douglas Brinkley, editor of The Proud Highway and Fear and Loathing in America.
"The reader comes to feel an affinity with the trio of writers in their attempts to achieve their iconoclastic visions of success, glimpsing them as individuals beyond their work, seeing how they think"—Kirkus Indie Reviews
"If you want to know what the Sixties were really like, read Keep This Quiet: A Memoir. It's all there: the openness, the hope, the ideals, the risks, the highs and lows, the travel, the love."—Robert Morgan, author of Gap Creek and Terroir
"This book is a joy to read, particularly for anyone that has that urge to express themselves through the creative arts in all their forms. In terms of its importance to the Hunter S. Thompson world I would have to say that there are not many other books out there that have the same intimate understanding of the man behind the myth."—Dr. Rory Feehan, owner of http://totallygonzo.org
"Three men, embodiments of three different dimensions of the late 1960's Zeitgeist—wispy dissolution, language-charged intellect, and Gonzo persona-building—are brought together by Harrell to invoke a world of passion and commitment." - W. C Bamberger, Rain Taxi Review
"Keep This Quiet! is a moving read and much recommended to any literary studies or memoir collection."—Midwest Book Review
"Keep your eyes peeled for this new book by Margaret Harrell."—William McKeen, author of Outlaw Journalist
"Keep This Quiet? Not likely. Margaret Harrell's Keep This Quiet! is a feast for the Gonzo soul"—Martin Flynn, owner of http://hstbooks.org"
"Readers will be privy to never-before-published letters from Hunter Thompson, deepening insight into the turning point in his career and emergence into gonzo."—Bernie Nelson, The Mindquest Review
"Harrell is an excellent storyteller, in a story that is never about the narrative, but about the real people. Every person in the book is bold and well defined."—San Francisco Book Review
"Harrell beautifully tells the story of how her relationships with the three men, predominantly Thompson, progressed, sharing intimate moments and keeping the reader turning the page."—Portland Book Review
"KeepThis Quiet! is a riveting, soul-baring honest look into Margaret Harrell and the inner workings of one of the world’s greatest writers."—Nick Storm, Storm Generation Films
"KEEP THIS QUIET! a memoir: My Relationship with Hunter S. Thompson, Milton Klonsky, and Jan Mensaert by Margaret A. Harrell is a masterpiece! I never expected to say that about a memoir."—Ron Whitehead, Lifetime US Beat Poet Laureate, Subject of the documentary The Legend of Ron Whitehead
