{"product_id":"9780684873169","title":"Fear and Loathing in America","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the king of “Gonzo” journalism and bestselling author who brought you \u003ci\u003eFear and Loathing in Las Vegas\u003c\/i\u003e comes another astonishing volume of letters by Hunter S. Thompson, featuring a new introduction from award-winning author and staff writer at \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker \u003c\/i\u003eJon Lee Anderson.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrazen, incisive, and outrageous as ever, this second volume of Thompson’s private correspondence is the highly anticipated follow-up to \u003ci\u003eThe Proud Highway\u003c\/i\u003e. When that first book of letters appeared in 1997, Time pronounced it \"deliriously entertaining\";\u003ci\u003e Rolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e called it \"brilliant beyond description\"; and \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e celebrated its \"wicked humor and bracing political conviction.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Spanning the years between 1968 and 1976, these never-before-published letters show Thompson building his legend: running for sheriff in Aspen, Colorado; creating the seminal road book \u003ci\u003eFear and Loathing in Las Vegas\u003c\/i\u003e; twisting political reporting to new heights for \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e; and making sense of it all in the landmark \u003ci\u003eFear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72\u003c\/i\u003e. To read Thompson's dispatches from these years—addressed to the author's friends, enemies, editors, and creditors, and such notables as Jimmy Carter, Tom Wolfe, and Kurt Vonnegut—is to read a raw, revolutionary eyewitness account of one of the most exciting and pivotal eras in American history.","brand":"Hunter S.
