Item Details
Description
THOMPSON, Hunter Stockton (1937-2005). Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream. New York: Random House, 1971.

8vo. Numerous illustrations by Ralph Steadman. Original cloth with cover pictorially blind–stamped; publisher's dust jacket (light sunning to spine).

FIRST EDITION. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas has its genesis in two road trips Thompson took with attorney and activist Oscar Zeta Acosta in the spring of 1971. After the first trip Thompson spent 36 hours "feverishly writing in my notebook" about their experiences. The book received a mixed reception upon release but many predicted that it would become an important piece of American literature, with The New York Times calling it "by far the best book yet on the decade of dope."
