Generation of Swine

In 1986–1988, Hunter S. Thompson—the famous author of “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”—ran a weekly column in the “San Francisco Examiner.” The articles collected under this cover are a chronicle of the life of the Generation of Swine, whose wicked deeds are felt everywhere: from the Iran-Contra affair to a media report about Hurricane Gloria; from blood pressure measuring devices to the Super Bowl; from monsters that control the Denver airport to the rampage of TV evangelists. The incomparable “Doctor Gonzo” took a long journey in search of a reasonable life—and found only total madness.
