Download Fear and Loathing in America: The Brutal Odyssey of an Outlaw Journalist, 1968 - 1976 AudioBook Free
This astonishing volume of private correspondence, a critically acclaimed follow-up to The Proud Highway, shows Hunter S. Thompson as brazen, incisive, and outrageous as ever before. When that first booklet of letters appeared in 1997, Time pronounced it "deliriously amusing", Rolling Natural stone called it "amazing beyond description", and the NY Times celebrated its "wicked laughter and bracing politics conviction". Spanning the years between 1968 and 1976, these never-before-published letters show Thompson building his story: working for sheriff in Aspen, Colorado; creating the seminal road book Dread and Loathing in Las Vegas; twisting politics reporting to new levels for Rolling Natural stone; and making sense of it all in the landmark Dread and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72. To read Thompson's dispatches from these years - tackled to the author's friends, foes, editors, and lenders, and such notables as Jimmy Carter, Tom Wolfe, and Kurt Vonnegut - is to read a raw, groundbreaking eyewitness account of 1 of the most enjoyable and pivotal eras in American background.
