Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A definitive biography... [McKeen] presents the life of this gifted yet troubled artist, warts and all, and he also takes the full measure of Thompson's journalistic accomplishment ... a comprehensive portrait." "The best record to date of Thompson's life." "Essential." "Read it or die." -- Greg Palast

Reseña del editor:

Hunter S. Thompson detonated a two-ton bomb under the staid field of journalism with his magazine pieces and revelatory Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. In Outlaw Journalist, the famous inventor of Gonzo journalism is portrayed as never before. Through in-depth interviews with Thompson's associates, William McKeen gets behind the drinking and the drugs to show the man and the writer-one who was happy to be considered an outlaw and for whom the calling of journalism was life.
