A little Key Largo, a little Front Page, a carnival, a probable rape, a possible murder, intermittent sex, and a lot of booze.Īfter his 1967 Hell’s Angels, Thompson’s opus Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was published as a novel in 1978. Semi-autobiographical, it was written in the early 1960s describing and embellishing his stint in Puerto Rico in the late 1950s, but not published until 1998. Thompson’s ashes out of a cannon commemorating a successful life (1937–2005) of folly, passion, genius, infuriation, and glee? The Rum Diary is the Doctor’s second book (his first, Prince Jellyfish, remains unpublished). Good Lord-has it really been over seven years since Johnny Depp shot Dr. F or their own recklessness destroyed them all-children and fools.
