The Death of A Dream - Hunter S. Thompson and the American Dream

More about the book

The exploration of the American Dream is a central theme in Hunter S. Thompson's writings, particularly during the late 1960s. Rather than merely reporting on the state of the nation, Thompson, known for his Gonzo journalism, immerses himself in the experience to convey his subjective perspective. His works, including "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72," present a largely negative view, highlighting the demise of the American Dream and the decline of America itself.
