Hunter S. Thompson’s 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' is a whirlwind trip into the neon heart of the American Dream, as experienced through the haze of drugs and the eyes of journalist Raoul Duke and his attorney, Dr. Gonzo. Despatched to cover a motorcycle race in Vegas, their quest derails into a surreal odyssey of hedonism and mayhem. Armed with an arsenal of 'heinous chemicals,' Duke and Gonzo confront a cast of characters emblematic of a society gorged on excess. In this landmark piece of gonzo journalism, Thompson unveils a stinging critique of American materialism and the eroding social fabric, all punctuated by moments of hallucinatory humor and terror.
