Fear and Loathing in Las

Vegas
 By
Hunter S. Thompson
HarperCollins Publishers
 'We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert
when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something
like, `I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive ...`' Hunter S.
Thompson is roaring down the desert highway to Las Vegas with
his attorney, the Samoan, to find the dark side of the American
Dream. Armed with a drug arsenal of stupendous proportions, the
duo engage in a surreal succession of chemically enhanced
confrontations with casino operators, police officers and assorted
Middle Americans. This stylish reissue of Hunter S. Thompson's
iconic masterpiece, a controversial bestseller when it appeared in
1971, features the brilliant Ralph Steadman illustrations of the
original. It brings to a new generation the hallucinatory humour and
nightmare terror of Hunter S. Thompson's musings on the collapse
of the American Dream.
