> Fiction Books > Classics Books

Paul Kemp has moved from New York to the steamy heat of Puerto Rico to work at the Daily News. He starts hanging out at Al's Backyard, a local den selling booze and hamburgers to vagrant journalists who are mostly crazy drunks on the verge of quitting. Then he meets Yeamon, whose delectable girlfriend has Kemp stewing in his own lust. But the idle tension that builds up in places where men sweat twenty-four hours a day is reaching a violent breaking point.

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.
