Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream

Front Cover
Royal National Institute of the Blind, 2004 - Journalists
First published in Rolling Stone magazine in 1971, this is the author's savagely comic account of what happened in 1960s America. In Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, the author and his attorney are diverted to search for the American dream. Their drug fuelled quest becomes a surreal experience that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. Beneath their tale is a stinging criticism of American greed and consumerism.
