About the Book

In early 1970, artist Ralph Steadman went to America in search of work and found more than he bargained for. At the Kentucky Derby he met a former Hell's Angel, one Hunter S. Thompson. Thompson wrote later that "The rest of that day blurs into madness. The rest of that night, too. Steadman was lucky to get out of Louisville without serious injuries, and I was lucky to get out at all." Thus began a thirty-year working relationship and friendship that gave birth to what became known as Gonzo Journalism. Few people knew Hunter S. Thompson as well as Ralph Steadman did. This no-holds-barred memoir tells of their unique collaboration that documented the turbulent years of the civil-rights movement, the Nixon years, and Watergate. When Thompson committed suicide in 2005, it was the end of a friendship that was defined by both betrayal and understanding.

About the Author :
Ralph Steadman has illustrated many books, including Hunter S. Thompson's legendary Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and the fiftieth-anniversary edition of George Orwell's Animal Farm. He is the author of four other books. He lives in England. James Adams is an award-winning narrator, having received an AudioFile Earphones Award and winning two Audie Awards in 2013 for best narration, as well as being named a finalist for a third Audie. He is the author of bestselling books of fiction and nonfiction, is a radio host, and is former CEO of United Press International and former managing editor of the London Sunday Times. Kurt Vonnegut, one of the most acclaimed American writers of the past century, died in New York City on April 11, 2007. He was the New York Times bestselling author of fourteen novels, including such literary classics as Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat's Cradle and God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater. Penguin Group (USA) was fortunate to publish several of Mr. Vonnegut's books, including the novels Timequake and Hocus Pocus as well as a collection of short fiction, Bagombo Snuff Box.

Review :
"A must read." -- "BookPage" "A pleasant surprise." -- "Tampa Tribune" "Bizarre and compelling." -- "Miami New Times" "It is fairly amazing that these two could get away with having so much fun, on expense accounts no less, in the name of journalism." -- "New York Post" "Records...the wildly erratic tempo of their bruising friendship...A fair and poignant assessment of the chaotic genius and messy legacy of Hunter S. Thompson." -- "Independent (London)" "There can be no question that Hunter S. Thompson's pivotal works would not be the same without the accompanying artwork of his partner Ralph Steadman...[Steadman] recalls it all eloquently." -- "Buffalo News" "Steadman genuinely admires his friend's writing but examines his character with clear-eyed honesty and corrects the record as he sees fit...Funny and--unlike his subject--dry." -- "Booklist "
