From Hells Angels Maximum Leader Sonny Barger to President Clintons national security advisor Sandy Berger, Hunter Thompsons collection of friends helped fulfill the ancient Chinese curse he was fond of quoting: May you live in interesting times. Here, more than 100 of them speak out, many for the first and only time, to tell of a life lived in the Passing Lane. Gonzo delivers the outrageous stories, but through its myriad voices presents an even more shocking realization: that the legendary Rolling Stone writer and author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, among many other works, was, if anything, vastly more complicated, multifaceted, tormented, and talented than any previous rendering has shown. A cast of characters from Pat Buchanan to Marilyn Manson, from his highschool friends in Louisville to his widow at Woody Creeks Owl Farm, and such well-known names as Sean Penn, Jack Nicholson, and Anjelica Hustonas well as never-before-heard revelations from his ex-wife, his longtime assistant, and his son, Juandeliver the wisdom on the man Tom Wolfe called the 20th centurys greatest comic writer in English. Gonzos cast of characters includes: l Ed Bradleyl Jimmy Buffett l President Jimmy Carterl James Carville l Benicio Del Torol Johnny Depp l Terry Gilliaml Anjelica Huston l Don Johnsonl Marilyn Manson l Jack Nicholsonl Sean Penn

Product Description 
La mode du marathon, prétexte à une nouvelle équipée délirante et sauvage de l’auteur de Las Vegas Parano.Hunter S. Thompson repart en vadrouille, pour couvrir avec son comparse Ralph Steadman le marathon d’Honolulu, à Hawaï. On est au début des années 1980. La majorité des rebelles des deux décennies précédentes se sont rangés et mis à la course à pied… Ce qui dégoûte profondément Hunter. Mais Honolulu, c’est aussi les expéditions du Capitaine Cook, la divinité Lono, la pêche au gros. Comme d’habitude, le reportage est un fiasco, et le récit du fiasco un fabuleux reportage ! 
 About the Author 
Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005 ) est devenu un mythe de son vivant, comme d’autres écrivains américains avant lui ― Twain, Hemingway, Mailer, Kerouac, Burroughs, Capote ― avec lesquels il avait en commun cette propension peut-être typiquement américaine : transformer la littérature en spectacle et le spectacle en littérature.
