Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Gonzo journalism . . . is a style of “reporting” based on William Faulkner’s idea that the best fiction is far more true than any kind of journalism—and the best journalists have always known this.

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone . . . but they’ve always worked for me.

It is Nixon himself who represents thatdark, venal, and incurably violent side of the American character almost every other country in the world has learned to fear and despise.

No point mentioning those bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.
