THOMPSON, HUNTER S.

Brazen, incisive, and outrageous as ever, Hunter S. Thompson is back with another astonishing volume of private correspondence, the highly anticipated follow-up to The Proud Highway . Spanning the years between 1968 and 1976, these never-before-published letters show Thompson building his legend: running for sheriff in Aspen, Colorado, creating the seminal road book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas , twisting political reporting to new heights for Rolling Stone and making sense of it all in the landmark Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 . To read Thompson's dispatches from these years addressed to authors and friends, enemies, editors and creditors, and such notables as Jimmy Carter, Tom Wolfe and Kurt Vonnegut is to read a raw, revolutionary eyewitness account of one of the most exciting and pivotal eras in American history.
