Most read-ers know Hunter S. Thomp-son for his 1971 book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Sav-age Jour-ney to the Heart of the Amer-i-can Dream. But in over 45 years of writ-ing, this pro-lif-ic observ-er of the Amer-i-can scene wrote volu-mi-nous-ly, often hilar-i-ous-ly, and usu-al-ly with decep-tive-ly clear-eyed vit-ri-ol on sports, pol-i-tics, media, and oth-er vicious-ly addic-tive pur-suits. (“I hate to advo-cate drugs, alco-hol, vio-lence, or insan-i-ty to any-one,” he famous-ly said, “but they’ve always worked for me.”) His dis-tinc-tive style, often imi-tat-ed but nev-er repli-cat-ed, all but forced the coin-ing of the term “gonzo” jour-nal-ism. But what could define it? One clue comes in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas itself, when Thomp-son reflects on his expe-ri-ence in the city, osten-si-bly as a reporter: “What was the sto-ry? Nobody had both-ered to say. So we would have to drum it up on our own. Free Enter-prise. The Amer-i-can Dream. Hor-a-tio Alger gone mad on drugs in Las Vegas. Do it now: pure Gonzo jour-nal-ism.”

You’ll find out more in the Paris Review’s inter-view with Thomp-son, in which he recounts once feel-ing that “jour-nal-ism was just a tick-et to ride out, that I was basi-cal-ly meant for high-er things. Nov-els.” Sit-ting down to begin his prop-er lit-er-ary career, Thomp-son took a quick job writ-ing up the Hel-l’s Angels, which let him get over “the idea that jour-nal-ism was a low-er call-ing. Jour-nal-ism is fun because it offers imme-di-ate work. You get hired and at least you can cov-er the f&cking City Hall. It’s excit-ing.” And then came the real epiphany, after he went to cov-er the Ken-tucky Der-by for Scan-lan’s: “Most depress-ing days of my life. I’d lie in my tub at the Roy-al-ton. I thought I had failed com-plete-ly as a jour-nal-ist. Final-ly, in des-per-a-tion and embar-rass-ment, I began to rip the pages out of my note-book and give them to a copy-boy to take to a fax machine down the street. When I left I was a bro-ken man, failed total-ly, and con-vinced I’d be exposed when the stuff came out.”

Indeed, the expo-sure came, but not in the way he expect-ed. Below, we’ve col-lect-ed ten of Thomp-son’s arti-cles freely avail-able online, from those ear-ly pieces on the Hel-l’s Angels and the Ken-tucky Der-by to oth-ers on the 1972 Pres-i-den-tial race, the Hon-olu-lu Marathon, Richard Nixon, and wee-hour con-ver-sa-tions with Bill Mur-ray. But don’t take these sub-jects too lit-er-al-ly; Thomp-son always had a way of find-ing some-thing even more inter-est-ing in exact-ly the oppo-site direc-tion from what-ev-er he’d ini-tial-ly meant to write about. And that, per-haps, reveals more about the gonzo method than any-thing else.

“The Motor-cy-cle Gangs: Losers and Out-siders” (The Nation, 1965) The arti-cle that would become the basis for Thomp-son’s first book, Hel-l’s Angels: The Strange and Ter-ri-ble Saga of the Out-law Motor-cy-cle Gangs. “When you get in an argu-ment with a group of out-law motor-cy-clists, you can gen-er-al-ly count your chances of emerg-ing unmaimed by the num-ber of heavy-hand-ed allies you can muster in the time it takes to smash a beer bot-tle. In this league, sports-man-ship is for old lib-er-als and young fools.”

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Rolling Stone, 1971) The Gonzo jour-nal-ism clas-sic first appeared as a two-part series in Rolling Stone mag-a-zine in Novem-ber 1971, com-plete with illus-tra-tions from Ralph Stead-man, before being pub-lished as a book in 1972.  Rolling Stone has post-ed the orig-i-nal ver-sion on its web site.

“Fear and Loathing on the Cam-paign Trail in ’72″ (Rolling Stone, 1973) Excerpts from Thomp-son’s book of near-ly the same name, an exam-i-na-tion of Demo-c-ra-t-ic Par-ty can-di-date George McGov-ern’s unsuc-cess-ful bid for the Pres-i-den-cy that McGov-ern’s cam-paign man-ag-er Frank Mankiewicz called “the least fac-tu-al, most accu-rate account” in print. “My own the-o-ry, which sounds like mad-ness, is that McGov-ern would have been bet-ter off run-ning against Nixon with the same kind of neo-‘radical’ cam-paign he ran in the pri-maries. Not rad-i-cal in the left/right sense, but rad-i-cal in a sense that he was com-ing on with a new… a dif-fer-ent type of politi-cian… a per-son who actu-al-ly would grab the sys-tem by the ears and shake it.”

“The Curse of Lono” (Play-boy, 1983) Thomp-son and Stead-man’s assign-ment from Run-ning mag-a-zine to cov-er the Hon-ololu marathon turns into a char-ac-ter-is-ti-cal-ly “ter-ri-ble mis-ad-ven-ture,” this one even involv-ing the old Hawai-ian gods. “It was not easy for me, either, to accept the fact that I was born 1700 years ago in an ocean-going canoe some-where off the Kona Coast of Hawaii, a prince of roy-al Poly-ne-sian blood, and lived my first life as King Lono, ruler of all the islands, god of excess, unde-feat-ed box-er. How’s that for roots?”

“He Was a Crook” (Rolling Stone, 1994) Thomp-son’s obit-u-ary of, and per-son-al his-to-ry of his hatred for, Pres-i-dent Richard M. Nixon. “Some peo-ple will say that words like scum and rot-ten are wrong for Objec-tive Jour-nal-ism — which is true, but they miss the point. It was the built-in blind spots of the Objec-tive rules and dog-ma that allowed Nixon to slith-er into the White House in the first place.

“Doomed Love at the Taco Stand” (Time, 2001) Thomp-son’s adven-tures in Cal-i-for-nia, to which he has returned for the pro-duc-tion of Ter-ry Gilliam’s film adap-ta-tion of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas star-ring John-ny Depp. “I had to set-tle for half of Dep-p’s trail-er, along with his C4 Porsche and his wig, so I could look more like myself when I drove around Bev-er-ly Hills and stared at peo-ple when we rolled to a halt at stop-lights on Rodeo Dri-ve.”

“Fear & Loathing in Amer-i-ca” (ESPN.com, 2001) In the imme-di-ate after-math of 9/11, Thomp-son looks out onto the grim and para-noid future he sees ahead. “This is going to be a very expen-sive war, and Vic-to-ry is not guar-an-teed — for any-one, and cer-tain-ly not for any-one as baf-fled as George W. Bush.”

“Pris-on-er of Den-ver” (Van-i-ty Fair, 2004) A chron-i-cle of Thomp-son’s (posthu-mous-ly suc-cess-ful) involve-ment in the case of Lisl Auman, a young woman he believed wrong-ful-ly impris-oned for the mur-der of a police offi-cer. “ ‘We’ is the most pow-er-ful word in pol-i-tics. Today it’s Lisl Auman, but tomor-row it could be you, me, us.”

“Shot-gun Golf with Bill Mur-ray” (ESPN.com, 2005) Thomp-son’s final piece of writ-ing, in which he runs an idea for a new sport —com-bin-ing golf, Japan-ese mul-ti-sto-ry dri-ving ranges, and the dis-charg-ing of shot-guns — by the com-e-dy leg-end at 3:30 in the morn-ing. “It was Bill Mur-ray who taught me how to mor-ti-fy your oppo-nents in any sport-ing con-test, hon-est or oth-er-wise. He taught me my humil-i-at-ing PGA fade-away shot, which has earned me a lot of mon-ey… after that, I taught him how to swim, and then I intro-duced him to the shoot-ing arts, and now he wins every-thing he touch-es.”
