HUNTER: The Strange and Savage Life of Hunter S. Thompson
In a spanking new, updated version of E. Jean Carroll's classic biography of Hunter Thompson, here is the Gonzo journalist in all his fabulous glory---richer than a king and more beloved than a god. Here are the submachine guns, the bags of cocaine, the blotters of acid, the big red cars, the bottles of whiskey, and the succulent succession of editorial assistants. Here Uncle Duke's life unfolds in frightening and fascinating detail.
Hell itself could not rival Hunter S. Thompson's struggles to become a writer----incarceration in a Louisville jail prevented his obtaining that all-important high school diploma; fistfights in Greenwich Village numbed his hands for high-speed typing. South American whores spent his money. But Dr. Thompson prevailed to ride with the Hell's Angels, run for sheriff, and take his place as one of the great stylists of the English language with his masterpiece, FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS.
David Quammen said in THE NEW YORK TIMES: "E. Jean Carroll is the female answer to Hunter Thompson." THE NEW YORK TIMES Book Review said: "Ms. Carroll simply goes Mr. Thompson one better."
Get this book! HUNTER is the shocking chronicle of the greatest degenerate of the 20th Century.
