RE: ADSactly Literature: For the Love of Cult Authors: Hunter S. Thompson

in #literature6 years ago

Another author I know through this series, @honeydue. I've heard more about Hunter S. Thompson the Man Writer than his work. Sometimes it happens with some authors who become almost characters and their real lives are more interesting than the fictitious lives they invent. The fact that Hunter accidentally created one of the most used forms of journalism and that is the use of the anecdote and the first person, speaks of a lot of ingenuity, but also of an admirable capacity for improvisation. It's a pity that like many writers, among the vices and illnesses, he ended his life. Thank you for sharing, @honeydue.
