I beat him like a mad dog with mange every time I got a chance, and I am proud of it.
Kingdom of Fear is angry, prophetic, full of vitality and enormously funny. In almost 40 years of battling the Confederacy of Dunces, Thompson's energy has not flagged. He is not coy about his choice of poisons, but asked specifically about it in a piece here "Yesterday's Weirdness is Tomorrow's Reason Why" he makes a nice reply: "I haven't found a drug yet that can get you anywhere near as high as a sitting at a desk writing, trying to imagine a story no matter how bizarre it is, as much as going out and getting into the weirdness of reality and doing a little time on the Proud Highway.
The honest outlaw. Furious, prophetic, sagacious and brutally satirical, Hunter S Thompson is still displaying his implacable contempt for power in Kingdom of Fear. Paul Theroux celebrates the king of gonzo.
