Jouralistic melodrama over a renegade representative of late sixties drug culture.
Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear & Loathing: On The Campaign Trail '72" would be incredible if I knew the interworkings of 1972 politics and policies. No wonder my uncle likes it...he told me about Hunter S. Thompson, and the reason I loved the first book he told me to get, "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas," was incredible, since I have a far-off understanding of drug culture in the late sixties and early seventies. I need to call up my uncle again and see if he has any more Thompson books I could follow.
My journalism advisor assigned us this book report on something having to do with journalism...and since I can't follow this book, I'll have to make my oral about "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas." It upsets me though, the race he was assigned to cover was hardly mentioned, and the reader loses sight of why he's there and think he's some junky in Vegas, not a renowned and infamous writer, a grim representative of the drug culture, the only one in Levis and a press badge at the same time. Oh well...she'll understand.
