Hunter S. Thompson by Jay Cowan
From military sportswriter to roving correspondent for the National Observer, from quasi Hells Angel to counterculture author and gonzo journalist, Hunter S. Thompson led a life of legend. Hunter S. Thompson: The Glory Years tells the remarkable insiders story.
"This is by far the most thought-provoking and honest look at the late outlaw journalist…HUNTER STHOMPSON is the most cohesive and comprehensive text yet to be written and is well worth the hours."—Steve Rosen, CurledUp.com "Imagine Hunter Thompson as your landlord . . . as your next door neighbor. Jay Cowan spent several years living just a few yards away from Hunter and lived to tell this tale. With insight and grace, he shows us what Hunter S. Thompson was like off-stage. He also shows how this much-misunderstood man was underestimated as a craftsman. This book brims with madness and affection, not to mention fear and loathing. All gonzo fans will treasure this monumentally entertaining story."—William Mckeen, Author, Outlaw Journalist: The Life and Times of Hunter S.Thompson"Just like he loved Hunter, Warren Zevon would have loved this book." —Crystal Zevon
