Few American lives are stranger or wilder than that of Hunter S. Thompson. Born a rebel in Kentucky, Thompson spent a lifetime channelling his energy into such landmark works as FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS - and his provocative style revolutionised writing.
Now, for the first time ever, Jann Wenner and Corey Seymour have interviewed Thompson''s friends, family and colleagues and woven their memories into a brilliant oral biographyFrom Hell''s Angels leader Sonny Barger, to Ralph Steadman, to Jack Nicholson, more than 100 members of Thompson''s inner circle bring into vivid focus the life of a man who was more complicated and talented than any previous portrait has shown. It''s all here: the creative frenzies, the love affairs, the drugs, booze and guns, and, ultimately, the tragic suicide As Thompson was fond of saying, "Buy the ticket, take the ride."
