A sun-struck Gonzo field report from the far edge of the American map.

This enormously eccentric book takes listeners on a crazy journey with renowned gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. The Curse of Lono is to Hawaii what Fear and Loathing was to Las Vegas: the crazy tales of a journalist's ''coverage'' of a news event that ends up being a wild ride to the dark side of Americana. Originally published in 1983, The Curse of Lono features all of the zany, hallucinogenic wordplay for which Hunter S. Thompson became known and loved. This curious book, considered an oddity among Hunter's oeuvre, is a widely soughtafter treasure.

This is a 1983 Bantam first edition, first printing, in very clean VG+ condition. The illustrated paperback wraps show only light, age-appropriate handling. Binding is tight, pages are clean, and the copy is complete and intact.
