Description
Here, for the primary time, is the non-public and most intimate correspondence of considered one of The united states’s most influential and incisive journalists–Hunter S. Thompson. In letters to a Who’s Who of luminaries from Norman Mailer to Charles Kuralt, Tom Wolfe to Lyndon Johnson, William Styron to Joan Baez–to not mention his mother, the NRA, and a chain of newspaper editors–Thompson vividly catches the tenor of the times in 1960s The united states and channels it all the way through his own razor-sharp standpoint. Passionate of their admiration, merciless of their scorn, and never anything lower than fascinating, the dispatches of The Proud Highway offer an unprecedented and penetrating gaze into the evolution of essentially the most outrageous raconteur/provocateur ever to assault a typewriter.
