Description: McKeen gets behind the drinking and drugs to show the inventor of Gonzo journalism--Hunter S. Thompson--as never before: one who was happy to be considered an outlaw but viewed journalism as his life's calling. 16 pages of photographs.
Brief description: William McKeen, chair of the journalism department at Boston University, has written or edited thirteen books including Outlaw Journalist, Highway 61, and Everybody Had an Ocean.
Review Quotes: This is the Great Red Shark of Hunter biographies. McKeen gives us full frontal HST, horrific and heroic, the class clown of the class war. Read it or die.--Greg Palast
