Originally revealed in 1979, The primary extent of the bestselling “Gonzo Papers” is now again in print. The Nice Shark Hunt is Dr. Hunter S. Thompson’s biggest and, arguably, so much necessary paintings, protecting Nixon to napalm, Las Vegas to Watergate, Carter to cocaine. Those essays be offering sensible observation and outrageous humor, in signature Thompson taste.

Thompson piece to be dubbed “gonzo”—“The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Wicked,” which gave the impression in Scanlan’s Monthly in 1970.
