Fear and Loathing at Rolling Stone: The Essential Writing of Hunter S. Thompson

From the bestselling author of The Rum Diary and king of â€œGonzoâ€ journalism Hunter S. Thompson, comes the definitive collection of the journalistâ€™s finest work from Rolling Stone. Fear and Loathing at Rolling Stone showcases the roller-coaster of a career at the magazine that was his literary home.

â€œBuy the ticket, take the ride,â€ was a favorite slogan of Hunter S. Thompson, and it pretty much defined both his work and his life. Jann S. Wenner, the outlaw journalistâ€™s friend and editor for nearly thirty-five years, has assembled articlesâ€”and a wealth of never- before-seen correspondence and internal memos from Hunterâ€™s storied tenure at Rolling Stoneâ€”that begin with Thompsonâ€™s infamous run for sheriff of Aspen on the Freak Party ticket in 1970 and end with his final piece on the Bush-Kerry showdown of 2004. In between is Thompsonâ€™s remarkable coverage of the 1972 presidential campaign and plenty of attention paid to Richard Nixon; encounters with Muhammad Ali, Bill Clinton, and the Super Bowl; and a lengthy excerpt from his acknowledged masterpiece, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The definitive volume of Hunter S. Thompsonâ€™s work published in the magazine, Fear and Loathing at Rolling Stone traces the evolution of a personal and professional relationship that helped redefine modern American journalism, presenting Thompson through a new prism as he pursued his lifelong obsession: The life and death of the American Dream.
