Ralph Steadman

Opis

In the spring of 1970, Ralph Steadman went to America in search of work and found more than he bargained for. In Kentucky to cover the Derby, he met a former Hells Angel called Hunter S Thompson. This memoir tells story - in words and pictures - of Ralph and Hunter, a great British original on a great American original, Butch and Sundance on acid.

Recenzje

Praise for The Joke's Over:
His drawings are the perfect foil for the deranged clarity of Thompson's writings. The Joke's Over, Steadman's memoir of working with Thompson, is full of entertaining anecdotes

Thompson's great classic Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and is the writer and artist of books ranging from Leonardo (on da Vinci) to The Grapes of Ralph (on wine).
