About this product

Product Information

The 50th-anniversary edition of the classic, savagely comic account of a trip to Las Vegas that came to represent what happened to America in the 1960s--and a founding document of "gonzo journalism"--featuring the original artwork by Ralph Steadman and a new introduction by Caity Weaver First published in Rolling Stone magazine in 1971, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is told through Hunter S. Thompson's story 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 50th-anniversary Modern Library edition features Ralph Steadman's original drawings, a new introduction by New York Times writer Caity Weaver, and three companion pieces selected by Thompson: "Jacket Copy for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas ," "Strange Rumblings in Aztlan," and "The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved."

Reviews
"[A book] in the zonked, road-writing tradition of Jack Kerouac." -- The New Republic, 1972 "A scorching, epochal sensation!" --Tom Wolfe "What goes on in these pages makes Lenny Bruce seem angelic." -- The New York Times, 1972 "He is really much more than a journalist. Not a journalist at all, but one who sees--a seer." --Edward Abbey

    Hunting the American Dream

    Have you ever wondered where the American Dream has gone? Is it in China? India? The New York Stock Exchange? If you're looking for it, look no further. It's in this book. Hunter S. Thompson blends the type of honest journalism this world has lost with honest living that the average person is scared to experience. Like an artist painting a picture Hunter is not concerned in the slightest what people will think of him. He just writes and lives in pure Gonzo style and whatever spills onto the page is art. Clearly I'm an unbiased reviewer, so my word is gold.

    Fear and Loathing...

    For years, I've loved this book. I've checked it out from the library time and again. I figured it was time to buy it. Dr. Hunter S. Thompson has his own inimitable style of writing.
