{"product_id":"9780684873169","title":"Fear and Loathing in America: The Brutal Odyssey of an Outlaw Journalist 1968-1976","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the king of “Gonzo” journalism and bestselling author who brought you \u003ci\u003eFear and Loathing in Las Vegas\u003c\/i\u003e comes another astonishing volume of letters by Hunter S. Thompson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrazen, incisive, and outrageous as ever, this second volume of Thompson’s private correspondence is the highly anticipated follow-up to \u003ci\u003eThe Proud Highway\u003c\/i\u003e. When that first book of letters appeared in 1997, Time pronounced it \"deliriously entertaining\"; Rolling Stone called it \"brilliant beyond description\"; and \u003ci\u003eThe 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":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47024858693872,"sku":"9780684873169","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780684873169_p0.jpg?v=1769917010","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780684873169","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
