Book Reviews of The Gonzo Way: A Celebration of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
Book Review: Finally, The Philosophy of Hunter S. Thompson
Summary: 5 Stars
If I had to find fault with The Gonzo Way it would be that Anita Thompson occasionally repeats hereslf in the text. I found myself reading one description of a person or place and seeing it again paragraphs later.
That being said the book, at about 110 pages, is not long. A good primer for people wanting to learn the distinction between Hunter S. Thompson and the myriad personas he created over the decades.
I hope there is more to come.
Summary of The Gonzo Way: A Celebration of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
The writer Tom Wolfe once described Hunter S. Thompson as the finest comic writer of the 20th century. Thompson was this and more, an apt observer of the American scene for almost four decades, the founding father of "Gonzo Journalism," and an inspiration to many. Through his writings, he examined the loss of American innocence in the latter part of the 20th century and, as a "bull who carried his own china shop around with him," was never afraid to confront the truth head-on.In The Gonzo Way, Anita Thompson pays tribute to her late husband as a writer and as a citizen, through her own words and through interviews with those who knew him best, including Tom Wolfe, George McGovern, and Douglas Brinkley. With elegant prose and entertaining anecdotes, she reveals a Hunter Thompson who was much more than a mere embodiment of sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll.
