What a long, strange trip its been,

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Generation of Swine: Gonzo Papers, Volume 2: Tales of Shame and Degredation in the '80s (Vintage) (Taschenbuch)
Before he burned himself out on drugs, Hunter Thompson was perhaps the best and certainly most vicious humor writer in America. Unfortunately, by the time the 1980s rolled around, Thompson had lost a few miles-an-hour off his fastball and could no longer knock 'em dead like he used to. Though you can still delight at the occasional potshot at those in power (like his description of George Bush senior as "the mean, preppie vice president"), overall he fails to consistently produce the kind of cutting satire that he could in his prime. It was almost as if he had come to personify the "Uncle Duke" character by which Gary Trudeau had been lampooning him for all these years. Sadly, we must use his own words to report that the master has "cashed his check."

Not a good place to start, but a fine place to continue.,

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Generation of Swine: Gonzo Papers, Volume 2: Tales of Shame and Degredation in the '80s (Vintage) (Taschenbuch)
Fear & Loathing on the campaign trail is probablly the good doctor's masterpiece but pretty much any of the gonzo papers books are well worth a read. It might have been interesting if a younger, angrier HST had been unleashed on the 1980s but this is a mellowed Thompson. But not too mellow. What you get is often hilariously funny stuff about Reagan, drugs, gambling, Iran and inevitably, Richard Nixon. Not a major work and it is slightly inconsistant, but every so often the doc's depraved mind slips into a higher gear and you're glad that the old bugger isn't dead yet. In fact, when he does finally peg out, someone should white the last few paragraphs of the introduction on his tombstone: Hunter's almost serious take on heaven and hell which is worth the price of admission alone.

History of the Greedy and Stupid,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Generation of Swine: Gonzo Papers, Volume 2: Tales of Shame and Degredation in the '80s (Vintage) (Taschenbuch)
I have read this book several times and I always laugh my butt off over a few of the stories in it. There is one story about a pig's head early in the morning that hurts my abdomen. If you find humor in human suffering and stupidity as HST does then this work will never cease to amuse you.
