The second in a three-volume collection of letters by the author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas spans the years between 1968 and 1976 and highlights his biting wit, scary powers of observation, and encounters with such notables as Jimmy Carter, Tom Wolfe, and Kurt Vonnegut.

"Thompson's reportage has an impressionistic side--for which his fans, including this one, are profoundly grateful. These untidy letters are welcome, showing us as they do a great American original in his lair."

Christopher Buckley, New York Times Book Review, 12/10/00

"[A]s he wrote to Tom Wolfe on Oct. 26, 1968, Thompson was after what F. Scott Fitzgerald called 'the high white note,' and this collection is a symphony of such celestial peaks of excitement, humor, and wisdom."

Troy Patterson, Entertainment Weekly, 01/12/2001
