Try Fear & Loathing on the Campaign Trail. Great stuff. I love Thompson
because he reminds me, in a very in-your-face way, not to trust the
illusions that others set up around me. Pynchon does this in a more
high-brow way, as does Rand, but it's important to me to remember to
question everything, & HST does it in a most audacious way.
I'm sorry, can't hang with Wolfe. It seem to me the only thing he's saying
is: "I'm Tomas Wolfe. Shut up and get me a double martini."
He's just WAY to in love with himself.
Thor
