Description
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream First published in 1971, this iconic work of gonzo journalism is a scathing and humorous account of a road trip to Las Vegas. The author's account of a weekend assignment with his attorney is a raw and unflinching look at the excesses and disillusionments of the 1960s. Featuring the original drawings of Ralph Steadman, this edition includes a new introduction by Caity Weaver. The book's enduring influence can be seen in the major motion picture directed by Terry Gilliam, starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the darker side of American culture, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a style and journalistic tour de force that stands as a final word on the highs and lows of the 1960s.
