About this product
Product Information
Soon to be a major motion picture starring Johnny Depp, The Rum Diary --a national bestseller and New York Times Notable Book--is Hunter S. Thompson's brilliant love story of jealousy, treachery, and violent lust in the Caribbean. Begun in 1959 by a twenty-two-year-old Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary is a brilliantly tangled love story of jealousy, treachery, and violent alcoholic lust in the Caribbean boomtown that was San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the late 1950s. The narrator, freelance journalist Paul Kemp, irresistibly drawn to a sexy, mysterious woman, is soon thrust into a world where corruption and get-rich-quick schemes rule and anything (including murder) is permissible. Exuberant and mad, youthful and energetic, this dazzling comedic romp provides a fictional excursion as riveting and outrageous as Thompson's Fear and Loathing books.

"Crackling, twisted, searing, paced to a deft prose rhythm . . . A shot of Gonzo with a rum chaser." - San Francisco Chronicle, "A great and an unexpected joy . . . Reveals a young Hunter Thompson brimming with talent." - The Philadelphia Inquirer, eoeAt the core of this hard-drinking, hard-talking, hard-living man is a moralist, Puritan, even an innocent. The Rum Diary gives us this side of him without apology . . . with a kind of pride." e" The Washington Post Book World, Salon A remarkably full and mature first novel...a languid and lovingly executed book that reveals its emotional depths slowly., At the core of this hard-drinking, hard-talking, hard-living man is a moralist, Puritan, even an innocent. The Rum Diary gives us this side of him without apology . . . with a kind of pride." - The Washington Post Book World, USA Today Throughout The Rum Diary, Thompson flashes signs of the vitriol that would later be turned loose on society., "At the core of this hard-drinking, hard-talking, hard-living man is a moralist, Puritan, even an innocent.

Thompson would use in the years ahead-bizarre wit, mockery without end, redundant excess, supreme self-confidence, the narrative of the wounded meritorious ego, and the idiopathic anger of the righteous outlaw -- were all there in his precocious imagination in San Juan. There, too were the beginnings of his future as a masterful prose stylist., San Francisco Chronicle Crackling, twisted, searing, paced to a deft prose rhythm...a shot of Gonzo with a rum chaser.
