Hunter S. Thompson is the quintessential outlaw journalist, the one true prince of Gonzo, and an American legend. In this "violently unauthorized" biography, Paul Perry offers never-before-related details of this outrageous writer's escapades and finally answers the provocative questions that hound Thompson's hordes of fans: "Whence comes his love of fun, his apocalyptic drive, his grim paranoia? Is it possible that a mere mortal could survive what he has survived?"
