_______________
'The music made by the language resembles gunfire, or an exploding grenade ... he fires off missives as though they were missiles' - Observer
'Very few editions of collected letters are worth reading from cover to cover, but this is one' - Scotland on Sunday
'There are only two adjectives writers care about any more - "brilliant" and "outrageous" - and Hunter has a freehold on both of them' - Tom Wolfe
_______________
Brazen, incisive, and outrageous as ever, Hunter S. Thompson is back with another astonishing volume of private correspondence, the highly anticipated follow-up to The Proud Highway.
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 Thompson's dispatches from these years - addressed to authors and 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.
