About this ebook
“Parlor gossip with a Gonzo twist. It’s an essential installment in the Hunter figure legend that continues to grow.” —Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History at Rice University and editor of the Hunter S. Thompson letters collections The Proud Highway and Fear and Loathing in America
Michael Cleverly and Bob Braudis, close friends of the legendary Gonzo journalist and author Hunter S. Thompson, share stories of what life was like living alongside the writer and counterculture icon, with his penchant for firearms, explosives and drugs. As fellow residents of Woody Creek Colorado, where Thompson spent several decades of his life, the authors—an artist and the local sheriff—relate anecdotes about their friend and favorite hell-raiser that have never been told before. Outrageous and hilarious, The Kitchen Readings is must-have biography for fans of the legendary writer.
“A tale of the smart, amusing and passionate soul behind the Gonzo mask. . . . a must read.” —Loren Jenkins, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and Senior Foreign Editor for National Public Radio
“This is the real Hunter S. Thompson. No friends knew him better than Cleverly and Braudis.” —Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Einstein: His Life and Universe
“A pleasant addition to Thompsoniana.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Hilarious and heart-breaking and hard to put down.” —William McKeen, author of Outlaw Journalist and Highway 61
