Generation of Swine: The Brutal Odyssey of an Outlaw Journalist
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.
