Thompson’s bestselling  Gonzo Papers  offers brilliant commentary and outrageous humor, featuring a new introduction from award-winning author and editor John Jeremiah Sullivan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1979, the first volume of the bestselling “Gonzo Papers” is now back in print.  The Great Shark Hunt  is Dr. Hunter S. Thompson’s largest and, arguably, most important work, covering Nixon to napalm, Las Vegas to Watergate, Carter to cocaine. These essays offer brilliant commentary and outrageous humor, in signature Thompson style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRanging in date from the  National Observer  days to the era of  Rolling Stone ,  The Great Shark Hunt  offers myriad, highly charged entries, including the first Hunter S. Thompson piece to be dubbed “gonzo”—“The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved,” which appeared in  Scanlan's Monthly  in 1970. From this essay, a new journalistic movement sprang which would change the shape of American letters. Thompson's razor-sharp insight and crystal clarity capture the crazy, hypocritical, degenerate, and redeeming aspects of the explosive and colorful ‘60s and ‘70s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52892274065695,"sku":"A7690","price":11.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/0546\/5119\/files\/ebook_6740_3c378c4859.jpg?v=1789652183","url":"https:\/\/lumobook.store\/products\/the-great-shark-hunt-strange-tales-from-a-strange-time-the-gonzo-papers-series-book-1","provider":"LumoBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
