Sorry for my spamming hunter s thompson never wrote about some guy he wrote about himself going in with a fake name and stuff i have read his biography it explains everything
Published in 1971, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream is a first-person account by a journalist (Thompson himself, under the pseudonym "Raoul Duke") on a trip to Las Vegas with his "300-pound [136 kg] Samoan" attorney, "Dr. Gonzo" (a character inspired by Thompson's friend, Chicano lawyer Oscar Zeta Acosta) to cover a narcotics officers' convention and the "fabulous Mint 400" motorcycle race. During the trip, he and his lawyer become sidetracked by a search for the American dream, with the aid of copious amounts of LSD, ether, adrenochrome, marijuana and other drugs. Ralph Steadman, who collaborated with Thompson on several projects, contributed surreal pen and ink illustrations.
mmmmm...yeah, i don't think you're breaking any new ground. In The Great Shark Hunt he also uses Raul Duke to tell stories that happened to him
there are too many hunter s thompson and fear loathing las vegas references on this site--its very cliche
not realy most the stuff that happend was made up or exagrated alot,tho some is based on truth watch fear and loathing in hollywood,it tell how hunter was tierd of people thinking that it was a trust story,so parts did happen and he did do some weird fucked up shit but no where as bad or as much as was said to be
