The king of gonzo journalism’s most scorching work for Rolling Stone

‘It would not do to be found in the desert under these circumstances- firing wildly into the cactus from a car full of drugs’

Fear and Loathing at Rolling Stone showcases the evolution of a writer through his work at the magazine that he helped to put on the map. Jann S. Wenner, Hunter Thompson’s editor and friend for nearly thirty-five years, has chosen the pieces, including many never collected before. They show how Thompson’s Rolling Stone writing, when taken as a whole, forms an extended, allusive autobiography of the writer himself as he pursues his lifelong obsession, the king-hell story of them all- The Death of the American Dream.
