Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Other American Stories

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Other American Stories

Hunter S. Thompson

Random House Inc
1998
sidottu
First published in Rolling Stone magazine in 1971, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is Hunter S. Thompson's savagely comic account of what happened to this country in the 1960s. It is told through the writer's account of an assignment he undertook with his attorney to visit Las Vegas and "check it out." The book stands as the final word on the highs and lows of that decade, one of the defining works of our time, and a stylistic and journalistic tour de force. As Christopher Lehmann-Haupt wrote in The New York Times, it has "a kind of mad, corrosive prose poetry that picks up where Norman Mailer's An American Dream left off and explores what Tom Wolfe left out." This Modern Library edition features Ralph Steadman's original drawings and three companion pieces selected by Dr. Thompson: "Jacket Copy for Fear and Loath-ing in Las Vegas," "Strange Rumblings in Aztlan," and "The Kentucky Derby Is Deca-dent and Depraved."

The Rum Diary

Hunter S. Thompson

Prentice Hall IBD
1999
nidottu
Begun in 1959 by a then-twenty-two-year-old Hunter S. Thompson, "The Rum Diary" is a brilliantly tangled love story of jealousy, treachery and violent alcoholic lust in the Caribbean boomtown that was San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the late 1950s. Exuberant and mad, youthful and energetic, "The Rum Diary" is an outrageous, drunken romp in the spirit of Thompson's bestselling "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "Hell's Angels."

Generation of Swine

Hunter S. Thompson

Simon Schuster

pokkari
From the bestselling author of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," the legendary Hunter S. Thompson's second volume of the "Gonzo Papers" is back. G"eneration of Swine" collects hundreds of columns from the infamous journalist's 1980s tenure at the "San Francisco Examiner." Here, against a backdrop of late-night tattoo sessions and soldier-of-fortune trade shows, Dr. Thompson is at his apocalyptic best―covering emblematic events such as the 1987-88 presidential campaign, with Vice President George Bush, Sr., fighting for his life against Republican competitors like Alexander Haig, Pat Buchanan, and Pat Robertson; detailing the GOP's obsession with drugs and drug abuse; while at the same time capturing momentous social phenomena as they occurred, like the rise of cable, satellite TV, and CNN―24 hours of mainline news. Showcasing his inimitable talent for social and political analysis, Generation of Swine is vintage Thompson―eerily prescient, incisive, and enduring.

Hunter S. Thompson

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

_____________'Brilliant' - Observer'Vivid, hyperactive, combative, ferociously intelligent and iconoclastic' - Guardian'Splendidly corrosive' - Independent_____________The Proud Highway is a literary milestone. The first volume in Hunter S. Thompson’s intimate letters begins with a high school essay written in 1955, and takes us through 1967, when the publication of Hell’s Angels made the author an international celebrity. Thompson’s prolific and often profound correspondence gives us an unforgettable insight into the world during the Cold War era, as well as an authoritative introduction to the cultural revolution of the sixties. With a vicious eye for detail and rude wit he writes to such luminaries as Norman Mailer, Tom Wolfe, Lyndon Johnson and Joan Baez. These letters represent the evolution of the original, a singular voice defying an era of banality, and cements Thompson’s reputation as one of the great romantic journalistic figures of our time.

Die legendären Gonzo-Reportagen erstmals auf Deutsch Mit seinen Gonzo Papers wurde Hunter S. Thompson zu einem der bedeutendsten Schriftsteller Amerikas. Dieser einmalige Band versammelt jetzt erstmals die besten Reportagen und Artikel aus vier Jahrzehnten schonungslosem Journalismus. Ein absolutes Muss für alle Thompson-Fans! Mit dem Tod von Hunter S. Thompson verlor die Welt nicht nur ihren wohl unbestechlichsten, schonungslosesten und scharfzüngigsten Reporter, sondern auch einen Schriftsteller, der zu den ganz Großen der amerikanischen Literatur gezählt werden muss. Wie niemand vor ihm ging er mit den Verfehlungen, der Doppelmoral und der bigotten Heuchelei der westlichen Gesellschaft ins Gericht. Dieser Band vereint die besten Reportagen des genialen Erfinders des Gonzo-Journalismus aus vier Jahrzehnten unermüdlichen Kampfes gegen ein korruptes, verlogenes System. Von vorderster Front aus berichtet Thompson über die Missstände, denen er auf seinen unzähligen Reisen begegnet. Drogen, Politik, Armut - seine Nachrichten vom Rande des Abgrunds sind aufrüttelnd, erschütternd, aber auch hellsichtig, ätzend komisch und der Beweis für Thompsons großes schriftstellerisches Können. "Amerikas letzter Gerechter." Der Spiegel "Die Rebellion wird nicht mit Hunters Tod zu Ende sein. Andere engagierte und furchtlose Autoren werden sein Werk fortsetzen." Keith Richards "Thompson ist unter den amerikanischen Journalisten der beste Schriftsteller, und unter den Schriftstellern ist er der beste Journalist." Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung

Redan första kvällen i San Juan hamnar New York-skribenten Paul Kemp på Als Backyard en kvarterskrog känd för sina hamburgare, romdrinkar och de vilda journalistfyllon som gjort haket till sitt stamställe. De flesta jobbar på Pauls nya arbetsplats, Daily News, en engelskspråkig tidning som kämpar för sin överlevnad i 50-talets Karibien, och där oberäkneliga arbetskamrater, dubbelspelande chefer och våldsamma lokalinvånare gör tillvaron osäker. När Paul presenteras för kollegan Yeamon vars betagande flickvän Chenault får honom att svettas av lusta så kompliceras tillvaron ytterligare. I ett kokande San Juan fyllt av korruption, galenskap och fylla utspelar sig snart ett komplicerat triangeldrama som, när verkligheten gör sig påmind, leder fram till en oundviklig och våldsam upplösning. Romträsket (The Rum Diary) är den amerikanske kultförfattaren Hunter S. Thompsons enda roman. Det är en svettig och romindränkt berättelse om lust, avundsjuka och våld bland hårdföra journalister och fifflare i i 50-talets Puerto Rico. Filmen The Rum Diary i regi av Bruce Robinson och med Johnny Depp och Amber Heard i huvudrollerna får svensk premiär under 2010/2011. RÖSTER OM BOKEN "Sanslös, fullständigt verklighetstrogen och tragisk ... En spänstig, slipad diamant till roman, som lämnar läsaren smått störd och flinande." - Scotland on Sunday "Bullrig, skruvad och med bra driv en shot gonzo med en rom vid sidan." - San Francisco Chronicle. "Vild, skarp, arg, cynisk och sarkastisk ... En rolig bok som vid en jämförelse kommer att få ditt eget liv att verka tråkigt." - Scene OM FÖRFATTAREN Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005) var en ryktbar amerikansk journalist och författare. Han använde sig själv som huvudperson och spegel i nästan allt han skrev och döpte sin stil till Gonzo. Han skrev regelbundet i Rolling Stone. Hans böcker, numera amerikanska klassiker, hittar ständigt nya läsare. Andra titlar av Hunter S.

Fear and Loathing in America

Fear and Loathing in America

Simon Schuster

From the king of "Gonzo" journalism and bestselling author who brought you "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" comes another astonishing volume of letters by Hunter S. Thompson. Brazen, incisive, and outrageous as ever, this second volume of Thompson's private correspondence is the highly anticipated follow-up to "The Proud Highway." When that first book of letters appeared in 1997, Time pronounced it "deliriously entertaining"; Rolling Stone called it "brilliant beyond description"; and "The New York Times" celebrated its "wicked humor and bracing political conviction." 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 the author's 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.

Sports, politics, and sex collide in Hunter S. Thompson's wildly popular ESPN.com columns. From the author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and father of "Gonzo" journalism comes Hey Rube, featuring a new introduction from popular sports host Ryen Russillo. Insightful, incendiary, outrageously brilliant, such was the man who galvanized American journalism with his radical ideas and gonzo tactics. For over half a century, Hunter S. Thompson devastated his readers with his acerbic wit and uncanny grasp of politics and history. His reign as "The Unabomber of contemporary letters" (Time) is more legendary than ever with Hey Rube. Fear, greed, and action abound in this hilarious, thought-provoking compilation as Thompson doles out searing indictments and uproarious rants while providing commentary on politics, sex, and sports--at times all in the same column. With an enlightening foreword by ESPN executive editor John Walsh, critics' favorites, and never-before-published columns, Hey Rube follows Thompson through the beginning of the new century, revealing his queasiness over the 2000 election ("rigged and fixed from the start"); his take on professional sports (to improve Major League Baseball "eliminate the pitcher"); and his myriad controversial opinions and brutally honest observations on issues plaguing America―including the Bush administration and the inequities within the American judicial system. Hey Rube gives us a lasting look at the gonzo journalist in his most organic form―unbridled, astute, and irreverent.

Screwjack: A Short Story

Screwjack: A Short Story

Hunter S. Thompson; Lars Ulrich

SIMON SCHUSTER
2023
nidottu
A rare collection of wild and outlandish short stories--long thought to be lost--by literary legend Hunter S. Thompson featuring a new introduction by Metallica founding member Lars Ulrich. Hunter S. Thompson's notorious triptych Screwjack is as salacious, unsettling, and brutally lyrical as it has been rumored to be since its private printing in 1991. "We live in a jungle of pending disasters," Thompson warns in the opening piece "Mescalito," a fictionalized chronicle of his first mescaline experience and what it sparked in him while he was alone in an Los Angeles hotel room in February 1969---including a bout of paranoia that would have made most people just scream no, once and for all. But for Thompson, along with the downside came a burst of creativity too powerful to ignore. The result is a poetic, perceptive, and wildly funny stream-of-consciousness take on 1969 America as only Hunter S. Thompson could see it. Screwjack just gets weirder with its second offering, "Death of a Poet," which describes a trailer park confrontation with a deservingly doomed friend. The heart of the collection lies in its final, title piece, an unnaturally poignant love story ostensibly written by Thompson's alias Raoul Duke from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. What makes the romantic tale "Screwjack" so touching, for all its strangeness, is the aching melancholy in its depiction of the modern man's burden. Screwjack shows how brilliant a prose stylist Thompson really is, amid all the hilarity. As he puts it in his introduction, the three stories here "build like Bolero to a faster and wilder climax that will drag the reader relentlessly up a hill, and then drop him off a cliff...That is the desired effect."
