Description
About the Book
In these incendiary essays, Thompson lambastes the greed, depravity, and decadence of America in the 1980s.Book Synopsis
The second volume of the legendary "Gonzo Papers" collects columns from Hunter S. Thompson's 1980s tenure at the San Francisco Examiner--featuring a new introduction by musician and artist Alison Mosshart. Here, against a backdrop of late-night tattoo sessions and soldier-of-fortune trade shows, Hunter S. Thompson is at his apocalyptic best: covering emblematic events such as the 1987-1988 presidential campaign; detailing the GOP's obsession with drugs and drug abuse; and capturing momentous social phenomena such as the rise of 24 hour-TV news. Showcasing Thompson's inimitable talent for social and political analysis, Generation of Swine is eerily prescient, incisive, and enduring.Review Quotes
The New York Times Book Review His writing, ever feisty, proves again...that he is one of our most incisive, insightful, and hilarious social critics.
