Hunter S. Thompson wrote journalism and autobiographical non-fiction associated with gonzo reporting, a style in which the writer's own behaviour and point of view become part of the story. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas follows journalist Raoul Duke and attorney Dr Gonzo through a drug-fuelled trip to Las Vegas that turns an assignment into a distorted account of American excess.
