Hunter S. Thompson's ether-fuelled, savage journey to the heart of the American Dream.
Stylish reissue of a classic novel first published in the 1970s: Hunter S Thompson's ether-fuelled, savage journey to the heart of the American Dream. 'We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold...And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas...' As knights of old buckled on armour of supernatural power, so Hunter S Thompson enters Las Vegas armed with a veritable arsenal of 'heinous chemicals'. His perilous, drug-enhanced confrontations with casino operators, bartenders, police officers and assorted representatives of the Silent Majority have a hallucinatory humour and nightmare terror never before seen on the printed page.

Hunter S. Thompson is incomparably the most celebrated exponent of the New Journalism. His books include Hell’s Angels, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail (available in Flamingo) and Generation of Swine. The Proud Highway, the first of three volumes of his letters, was published in 1997.
