About this product
Product Information
The 50th-anniversary edition of the classic, savagely comic account of a trip to Las Vegas that came to represent what happened to America in the 1960s--and a founding document of "gonzo journalism"--featuring the original artwork by Ralph Steadman and a new introduction by Caity Weaver First published in Rolling Stone magazine in 1971, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is told through Hunter S. Thompson's story of an assignment he undertook with his attorney to visit Las Vegas and "check it out." The book stands as the final word on the highs and lows of that decade, one of the defining works of our time, and a stylistic and journalistic tour de force. As Christopher Lehmann-Haupt wrote in The New York Times , it has "a kind of mad, corrosive prose poetry that picks up where Norman Mailer's An American Dream left off and explores what Tom Wolfe left out." This 50th-anniversary Modern Library edition features Ralph Steadman's original drawings, a new introduction by New York Times writer Caity Weaver, and three companion pieces selected by Thompson: "Jacket Copy for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas ," "Strange Rumblings in Aztlan," and "The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved."

Reviews
"[A book] in the zonked, road-writing tradition of Jack Kerouac." -- The New Republic, 1972 "A scorching, epochal sensation!" --Tom Wolfe "What goes on in these pages makes Lenny Bruce seem angelic." -- The New York Times, 1972 "He is really much more than a journalist. Not a journalist at all, but one who sees--a seer." --Edward Abbey

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
