Description: Fear and Loathing in America by Hunter S. Thompson, Douglas Brinkley Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Letters spanning the years between 1968 and 1976 highlight the authors biting wit, scary powers of observation, and encounters with such notables as Jimmy Carter, Tom Wolfe, and Kurt Vonnegut. Publisher Description From the king of "Gonzo" journalism and bestselling author who brought you Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas comes another astonishing volume of letters by Hunter S. Thompson. Brazen, incisive, and outrageous as ever, this second volume of Thompsons private correspondence is the highly anticipated follow-up to The Proud Highway. When that first book of letters appeared in 1997, Time pronounced it "deliriously entertaining"; Rolling Stone called it "brilliant beyond description"; and The New York Times celebrated its "wicked humor and bracing political conviction." Spanning the years between 1968 and 1976, these never-before-published letters show Thompson building his legend: running for sheriff in Aspen, Colorado; creating the seminal road book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas; twisting political reporting to new heights for Rolling Stone; and making sense of it all in the landmark Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 72. To read Thompsons dispatches from these years--addressed to the authors friends, enemies, editors, and creditors, and such notables as Jimmy Carter, Tom Wolfe, and Kurt Vonnegut--is to read a raw, revolutionary eyewitness account of one of the most exciting and pivotal eras in American history. Author Biography Hunter S. Thompson was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. His books include Hells Angels, Fear and Loathing at Rolling Stone, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 72, The Rum Diary, and Better than Sex. He died in February 2005.
