Fear and Loathing in America
Book (italiano):
Brazen, incisive, and outrageous as ever, Hunter S. Thompson is back with another astonishing volume of his private correspondence, the highly anticipated follow-up to <I>The Proud Highway.</I> When that first book of letters appeared in 1997, <I>Time</I> pronounced it "deliriously entertaining"; <I>Rolling Stone</I> called it "brilliant beyond description"; and <I>The New York Times</I> celebrated its "wicked humor and bracing political conviction." <P> 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 <I>Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas;</I> twisting political reporting to new heights for <I>Rolling Stone;</I> and making sense of it all in the landmark <I>Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72.</I> 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.
