Hunter S. Thompson
From Hell's Angels rallies to East L.A. motel rooms to broken-down North Vegas diners to San Francisco porno theaters, Thompson has spent the past 40 years in places most people would categorize as hell. In doing so, he has provided us with a brutally honest memoir of American life in the second half of the 20th century, a memoir filled with low-lifes, drunks, addicts and demented lawyers ... all of whom are real and all of whom - like Thompson - still believe in the "fantastic possibilities of life in this country."
"Hunter S. Thompson is our hillbilly Boswell, at once both optimistic and pessimistic - and he is truly one of a kind."
