Description

“No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.”


Over the course of Hunter S. Thompson’s extraordinary life he was publicly branded a bum, a vandal, a thief, a liar, an addict, a freak and a psychopath. Only some of which are true. Even in a 20th century crowded with celebrity, his legacy retains a brilliantly vital force. 


The great American iconoclast, the great American outlaw, the great American hedonist... However you choose to view him, Thompson remains the high-water mark for all social commentators the world over, and a truly fearless champion of individual liberties.


This is his story... the story of a troubled kid from Louisville, Kentucky, who went on to become an international icon. This is a story that charts the legendary heights of so-called “Gonzo Journalism”, plumbs the darkest depths of American politics, and presents a lifestyle beyond imagination.


Reviews


“With taut and evocative writing from Will Bingley and superb black and white illustrations from Anthony Hope-Smith, Gonzo is a meth-soaked journey down the path of self-destruction that defined 20th century counter culture.” – Esquire Magazine

   

“Thompson is rendered not as the hedonistic outlaw superman of legend but as a twitchy and surprisingly sensitive human being.” – The Wall Street Journal


“Text and image interact and collide with audacious, intuitive logic, capturing the essence... And when you get to the end, you realize the whole damn thing was pulled off without a single cliché.” 

– Michel Faber, critic and author of The Crimson Petal and the White


“A history of modern America.” – The Sunday Herald
