From the best-selling Gonzo journalist and author of the venerated Fear and Loathing books comes The Rum Diary, his long-lost novel and his only work of fiction. But don't be deceived by the format: this is vintage Hunter S. Thompson, only this time around he is freed from the binding of fact and reality, which isn't much of a stretch for him. Using a shady array of characters, Thompson explores the tropics and all the things that grow from them. From the shore to the scrub brush and then into much less glamorous places, it slips into paradise under the pretence of adventure only to sound off with the chimes of truth. | The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
