Hunter S. Thompson couldn’t get out of his own way. He was the kind of guy who sat at the back of the class clowning around and cracking jokes, who pumped out essays the night before they were due; sometimes he produced a hit, sometimes a dud. His flaw was that he had the talent; he just never really applied himself. Why break a sweat when you can fluke your way through? Why stay sober when readers like what you put out while you’re high?
Hunter S. Thompson cultivated an image of rockstar proportions: an eccentric, hyper-masculine, booze-swilling, drug-taking court jester act that he soon found he couldn’t escape from, even when it was harming him.
