Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

by

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a novel by Hunter S. Thompson, first published in 1971. The book is a roman à clef, rooted in autobiographical incidents, and follows journalist Raoul Duke and his attorney Dr. Gonzo as they embark on a drug-fueled journey through Las Vegas. It is a vivid and often surreal exploration of the American Dream and the counterculture of the 1960s.
