Hailed everywhere as a brilliant biography, GONZO is a startling portrait of Hunter S. Thompson, the genius who spent a lifetime channeling his energy and insight into such landmark works as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas--and revolutionized the art of writing. In their own words, an incredible array of stars--Sonny Barger, Jack Nicholson, Ralph Steadman, Jimmy Buffett, Anjelica Huston, Marilyn Manson, Jimmy Carter, and many more--bring into vivid focus Thompson's creative frenzies, love affairs, drug use, and, ultimately, his tragic suicide. As Thompson was fond of saying, 'Buy the ticket, take the ride. ' ''Gonzo. '. . is no hagiography, and it is in its unflinching look at this singular character in American letters as fearless-if not more so-as anything Thompson ever dared write…. The most comprehensive picture of Thompson so far, and…likely the best we'll ever get. ' --Patrick Beach, 'Austin American-Statesman' 'A fond and exhilarating look back at the wild man of American journalism, put together by a couple of guys who were pretty close to him. ' --Billy Heller, 'New York'' Post'
