An indispensable compendium of Hunter S Thompson's best of Gonzo.
Originally published in 1979, The Great Shark Hunt, the first volume of the bestselling 'Gonzo Papers' is Hunter S. Thompson’s largest and, arguably, most important work. These essays cover Nixon to napalm, Las Vegas to Watergate, Carter to cocaine, offering brilliant commentary and outrageous humour, in signature Thompson style.
Hunter S. Thompson was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1937 and died in Colorado in 2005. A full-time writer and journalist, he contributed regularly to a wide variety of publications, but is probably best known for his work as National Affairs correspondent for Rolling Stone.
