Hunter S. Thompson

A Tribute to the Gonzo Reporter


This cult classic of gonzo journalism is the best chronicle of drug-soaked, addle-brained, rollicking good times ever committed to the printed page. It is also the tale of a long weekend road trip that has gone down in the annals of American pop culture as one of the strangest journeys ever undertaken.


“I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.”


"The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over."


"A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance."


"In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity."
