FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS:

A fiftieth-anniversary edition of the cult classic of gonzo journalism, hailed as “the best book on the dope decade” (The New York Times Book Review), featuring Ralph Steadman’s original drawings and an introduction by Caity Weaver The inspiration for the major motion picture directed by Terry Gilliam, starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro “A scorching epochal sensation!”—Tom Wolfe First published in Rolling Stone magazine in 1971, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is the best chronicle of drug-soaked, addle-brained, rollicking good times ever committed to the printed page. It is also the tale of a long weekend road trip that has gone down in the annals of American pop culture as one of the strangest journeys ever experienced. The writer’s account of an assignment he undertook with his attorney to visit Las Vegas and “check it out,” the book stands as the final word on the highs and lows of the 1960s, one of the defining works of our time and a stylistic and journalistic tour de force.
