Hunter S. Thompson

Opis

The best, the fastest, the hippest and the most unorthodox account ever published of the US presidential electoral process in all its madness and corruption.

Recenzje

'The best stuff on the campaign I've read anywhere.'
Nicholas Von Hoffman, Washington Post

'Obscene, horrid, repellent ... driving, urgent, candid, searing ... a fascinating, compelling book!'
New York Post

'Hunter S. Thompson is the most creatively crazy and vulnerable of the New Journalists. His books are brilliant and honorable and valuable ... the literary equivalent of Cubism: all rules are broken.'
Kurt Vonnegut Jr

'Gaze in awe ... Hunter Thompson does in his own mad way betray a profound democratic concern for the polity. And in its own mad way, it's darned refreshing.'
New York Times

'Shocks you into laughter.'
Detroit Free Press

'Unnerving!'
Newsweek

O autorze

Hunter S. Thompson is incomparably the most celebrated exponent of the New Journalism. His books include Hell's Angels, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail (available in Flamingo) and Generation of Swine. The Proud Highway, the first of three volumes of his letters, was published in 1997.
