Fear and Loathing at Rolling Stone Summary

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

A compilation of the subversive, important and entertaining writer of Hunter S. Thompson - renowned American writer of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

'It would not do to be found in the desert under these circumstances: firing wildly into the cactus from a car full of drugs...'

Fear and Loathing at Rolling Stone showcases the evolution of the writer of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Hell's Angels, through his work at the magazine that he helped to put on the map. Jann S. Wenner, Hunter Thompson's editor and friend for nearly thirty-five years, has chosen the pieces, including many never collected before. They show how Thompson's Rolling Stone writing, when taken as a whole, forms an extended, allusive autobiography of the writer himself as he pursues his lifelong obsession, the king-hell story of them all: The Death of the American Dream.

The fear and loathing have never seemed more apt ... he's still raging against the machine [Praise for Kingdom of Fear] * Literary Review *
Fantastic ... I don't think anyone else in print has called George Bush a whore beast [Praise for Kingdom of Fear] * Newsnight Review *
