Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star-crossed Child in the Final Days by Hunter S. Thompson

HST’s version of a memoir strings together musings, memos, letters, interviews, and short form recollections to make a kaleidoscope of politics, drug abuse, and unrealized slights to settle the score. Uneven but never boring.

Especially relevant given the current political climate.

The foreword's warning that Hunter flirts between truth and fiction should be heeded well, but it makes the book no less enjoyable. The note of despair that runs through the book is sad, especially in light of what has happened in the world since. There are still plenty of hilarious, provocative chunks to be had - "Fear and Loathing in Elko" is truly hilarious.
