It also contains an interesting essay on Thompson's take on America after September 11, 2001, which he wrote on the day after. I found this piece very interesting because he manages to sound enthusiastic about America, patriotic even, but at the same time he totally opposes George W. Bush. It's a viewpoint I haven't come across very often before. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Every book tells a story . . .And the 70 titles in the Pocket Penguins series are emblematic of the renowned breadth and quality that formed part of the original Penguin vision in 1935 and that continue to define our publishing today. Together, they tell one version of the unique story of Penguin Books. High priest of hedonism and godfather of gonzo journalism, Hunter S. Thompson was renowned for his counterculture masterpiece Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which described his chemical-addled adventures in 1970s America. Taken from Thompson's brilliantly entertaining autobiography, Kingdom of Fear- the last book published before his death earlier this year - these pieces provide a hilarious but now also painful insight into the life and the mind of a true literary outlaw.

Is there any other sentence in the world that doesn't scream Hunter S. Thompson? That one is on the first page of this collection of funny, strange, and deadly accurate "stories" in this book. The entry about 9/11 perfectly exemplifies all of these qualities! I really like Hunter S., and this short little book made me smile, laugh, and think, and for that, I thank him! ( )
