Thompson as brazen, incisive, and outrageous as ever. When that first book of letters appeared in 1997, \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e pronounced it ¿deliriously entertaining,¿ \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e called it ¿brilliant beyond description,¿ and the\u003ci\u003e New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e celebrated its ¿wicked humor and bracing political conviction.¿\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpanning the years between 1968 and 1976, these never-before-published letters show Thompson building his legend: running for sheriff in Aspen, Colorado; creating the seminal road book \u003ci\u003eFear and Loathing in Las Vegas\u003c\/i\u003e; twisting political reporting to new heights for \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e; and making sense of it all in the landmark \u003ci\u003eFear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ¿72\u003c\/i\u003e. To read Thompson¿s dispatches from these years¿addressed to the author¿s friends, enemies, editors, and creditors and such notables as Jimmy Carter, Tom Wolfe, and Kurt Vonnegut¿is to read a raw, revolutionary eyewitness account of one of the most exciting and pivotal eras in American history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47100460204272,"sku":"2940169520521","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169520521_p0.jpg?v=1769896084","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169520521","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
