About this product
Product Information
From the bestselling author of The Rum Diary and king of "Gonzo" journalism Hunter S. Thompson, comes the definitive collection of the journalist'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."Buy the ticket, take the ride," was a favorite slogan of Hunter S. Thompson, and it pretty much defined both his work and his life. Jann S. Wenner, the outlaw journalist's friend and editor for nearly thirty-five years, has assembled articles--and a wealth of never- before-seen correspondence and internal memos from Hunter's storied tenure at Rolling Stone--that begin with Thompson'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 Thompson'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. Thompson'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.

Reviews
"A reminder of how . . . in the right hands words are scalpels with which to both surgically excise and slash at the culture." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "Glorious . . . You can witness Thompson's development and deterioration unspool in real time." --Matt Labash, The Wall Street Journal, "Wenner rolls out only the good stuff . . . You know what they say, If you got 'em . . . read 'em. " -- Vanity Fair, "At his best he has the kind of trenchant, mordant wit of H. L. Mencken and Mark Twain." - Houston Chronicle, "Wenner rolls out only the good stuff . . . You know what they say, If you got 'em . . . read 'em. " -- Vanity Fair, "Thompson is a genuinely unique figure in American journalism, a superb comic writer and a ferociously outspoken social and political critic." -Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post, "Glorious . . . You can witness Thompson's development and deterioration unspool in real time." -Matt Labash, The Wall Street Journal, "An American original. He hit the high notes out on the ragged edge, and thousands of us heard him above the canned din of the safe center." -- Los Angeles Times, "Wenner rolls out only the good stuff . . . You know what they say, If you got 'em . . . read 'em. " - Vanity Fair, "Thompson should be recognized for contributing some of the clearest, most bracing and fearless analysis of the possibilities and failures of American democracy in the past century." - Chicago Tribune, "Mr. Thompson, the flamboyant apostle and avatar of gonzo journalism, still exerts a powerful hold on the American psyche. . . . He was first and foremost an original, vivid prose voice." - The New York Times, "A reminder of how . . . in the right hands words are scalpels with which to both surgically excise and slash at the culture." -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "An American original. He hit the high notes out on the ragged edge, and thousands of us heard him above the canned din of the safe center." - Los Angeles Times

Ordered a workbook. No where in description did it say it was written in. Took 10 days to receive. Contacted seller twice and included photos of the inside of the book and they failed to reply. I’d seriously reconsider purchasing from this seller.

I am SUPER happy with this transaction. I got an epic deal on a less common hardcover. They sold it to me for about $9 and all the others like it are going for about $30. There was no photo but really happy! Mack was ahead of his time, and a beautiful soul, taken too soon. Thank you on this great deal! Looking forward to reading about all these alien encounters, with such a great minds, insight. The book was listed as good and it was indeed in really good condition. Thanks a lot !!
