> Entertainment Books > Humour Books > General Books

The father of gonzo journalism takes to the campaign trail.

Since his blazing 1972 opus, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail, Hunter S. Thompson has reported the election story in his truly inimitable, just-short-of-libel style. In Better than Sex, Thompson hits the dusty trail again ? without leaving home ? yet manages to deliver a mind-bending view of the 1992 presidential campaign, in all of its horror, sacrifice, lust, and dubious glory. Complete with faxes sent to and received by candidate Clinton's top aides, and 100 per cent pure gonzo screeds on Richard Nixon, George Bush, and Oliver North, here is the most true-blue campaign tell-all ever penned by man or beast.

RRP: $26.99

About the Author: Hunter S Thompson

Hunter Stockton Thompson (July 18, 1937 February 20, 2005) was an American journalist and author most famous for his work 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' (1971).

He is credited as the creator of Gonzo journalism; a style of reporting where reporters involve themselves in the action to such a degree that they become central figures of their stories.

He is known also for his unrepentant lifelong use of alcohol, LSD, and cocaine (among other substances); his love of firearms; his hatred of Richard Nixon; and his contempt for authoritarianism.

While suffering a bout of health problems, he committed suicide in 2005, at the age of 67.
