About the Author:
Hunter S. Thompson (July 18, 1937 -- February 20, 2005) was an American journalist and author. He was known for his flamboyant writing style, most notably deployed in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which blurred the distinctions between writer and subject, fiction and nonfiction.

The best source on Thompson's writing style and personality is Thompson himself. His books include Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga (1966), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream (1972), Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 (1973); The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time (1979); The Curse of Lono (1983); Generation of Swine, Gonzo Papers Vol. 2: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the 80's (1988); and Songs of the Doomed (1990).
Synopsis:
Contains the journalist's classic account of his visit to Las Vegas, and includes three companion pieces.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Steadman, Ralph (illustrator). Hardcover. The 50th-anniversary edition of the classic, savagely comic account of a trip to Las Vegas that came to represent what happened to America in the 1960sand a founding document of gonzo journalismfeaturing the original artwork by Ralph Steadman and a new introduction by Caity Weaver First published in Rolling Stone magazine in 1971, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is told through Hunter S. Thompsons story of an assignment he undertook with his attorney to visit Las Vegas and check it out. The book stands as the final word on the highs and lows of that decade, one of the defining works of our time, and a stylistic and journalistic tour de force. As Christopher Lehmann-Haupt wrote in The New York Times, it has a kind of mad, corrosive prose poetry that picks up where Norman Mailers An American Dream left off and explores what Tom Wolfe left out. This 50th-anniversary Modern Library edition features Ralph Steadmans original drawings, a new introduction by New York Times writer Caity Weaver, and three companion pieces selected by Thompson: Jacket Copy for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Strange Rumblings in Aztlan, and The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved. From the author of THE RUM DIARY and THE PROUD HIGHWAY, a humorous novel which tells of two men on a drug-enhanced trip to Las Vegas, and their experiences with various people. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780679602989
