Book Overview

by Hunter S. Thompson (Author), Alison Mosshart (Author)

The second volume of the legendary "Gonzo Papers" collects columns from Hunter S. Thompson's 1980s tenure at the San Francisco Examiner--featuring a new introduction by musician and artist Alison Mosshart.Here, against a backdrop of late-night tattoo sessions and soldier-of-fortune trade shows, Hunter S. Thompson is at his apocalyptic best: covering emblematic events such as the 1987-1988 presidential campaign; detailing the GOP's obsession with drugs and drug abuse; and capturing momentous social phenomena such as the rise of 24 hour-TV news. Showcasing Thompson's inimitable talent for social and political analysis, Generation of Swine is eerily prescient, incisive, and enduring.
