Hunter S. Thompson biography and Gonzo Papers published by Tristram

Éditions Tristram has released a biography of Hunter S. Thompson by William McKeen, titled 'Hunter S. Thompson, journaliste et hors-la-loi', alongside two volumes of the Gonzo Papers: 'Dernier Tango à Las Vegas' and 'Parano dans le Bunker'. The biography explores Thompson's life as a journalist, his invention of Gonzo journalism, and his iconoclastic vision of America from the 1960s to 2000. The Gonzo Papers collect articles from 1963 to 1978 covering subjects like Muhammad Ali's decline, democracy in Peru, Colombian traffickers, the Freak power in the Rockies, and his hatred for Nixon. Thompson, who died by suicide in 2005 at age 68, was known for his subjective, vicious, and humorous style. His funeral featured three explosions of fireworks scattering his ashes in his garden.
