The joke's over

In the spring of 1970, British artist Ralph Steadman went to America in search of work and found more than he bargained for. At the Kentucky Derby he met a former associate of the Hell's Angels, one Hunter S. Thompson. Their working relationship resulted in the now-legendary Gonzo Journalism. This book tells the inside story of a remarkable collaboration that documented the turbulent years of the civil rights movement, the Nixon years, Watergate, and the many bizarre and great events that shaped the second half of the twentieth century. When Thompson committed suicide in 2005, it was the end of a unique friendship filled with both betrayal and understanding.

  • "Few people knew Hunter S. Thompson as well as Ralph Steadman did. Their long friendship gave birth to what became known as gonzo journalism. This no-holds-barred memoir tells of their unique collaboration that documented the turbulent years of the '60s and '70s in a friendship defined by both betrayal and understanding."@en
  • "In early 1970, artist Ralph Steadman went to America in search of work and found more than he bargained for. At the Kentucky Derby he met a former Hell's Angel, one Hunter S. Thompson. Thompson wrote later that "The rest of that day blurs into madness. The rest of that night, too. Steadman was lucky to get out of Louisville without serious injuries, and I was lucky to get out at all." Thus began a thirty-year working relationship and friendship that gave birth to what became known as Gonzo Journalism."
  • "Traces the author's friendship and working relationship with Hunter S. Thompson, discussing their collaborative efforts in Gonzo Journalism in a personal account that also evaluates Thompson's 2005 suicide."
