Hey Rube. Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness. Modern History from the Sports Desk.
New York: Simon & Schuster, 2005. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Sports, politics, and sex collide in Hunter S. Thompson’s wildly popular ESPN.com columns. Insightful, incendiary, outrageously brilliant, such was the man who galvanized American journalism with his radical ideas and gonzo tactics. For over half a century, Hunter S. Thompson devastated his readers with his acerbic wit and uncanny grasp of politics and history. His reign as "The Unabomber of contemporary letters" (Time) is more legendary than ever with Hey Rube. Fear, greed, and action abound in this hilarious, thought-provoking compilation as Thompson doles out searing indictments and uproarious rants while providing commentary on politics, sex, and sports—at times all in the same column.
