Hunter S. Thompson
1990 - Summit Books, New York - First Edition
Volume 3 of the ‘Gonzo Papers’ viciously and magnificently inscribed and violently signed by HST across the first page -
Stay away from me
you PIG FUCKER
This is Not a Good Time
I STILL Have a Half Bottle
OK!!
This volume of the Gonzo Papers, charts ‘the long, strange trip from Kennedy to Quayle in Thompson's freewheeling, inimitable style. Spanning four decades – 1950 to 1990 – Thompson is at the top of his form while fleeing New York for Puerto Rico, riding with the Hell's Angels, investigating Las Vegas sleaze, grappling with the "Dukakis problem," and finally, detailing his infamous lifestyle bust, trial documents, and Fourth Amendment battle with the Law. These tales – often sleazy, brutal, and crude – are only the tip of what Jack Nicholson called "the most baffling human iceberg of our time”.’ [from the intro to a later edition].
