Jeg føler, at dette er for vigtigt til medieforummet! http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld ... -headlines Author Hunter S. Thompson Kills Himself By CATHERINE TSAI Associated Press Writer February 21, 2005, 12:16 AM EST DENVER -- Hunter S. Thompson, the acerbic counterculture writer who popularized a new form of fictional journalism in books like "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," fatally shot himself Sunday night at his Aspen-area home, his son said. He was 67. "Hunter prized his privacy and we ask that his friends and admirers respect that privacy as well as that of his family," Juan Thompson said in a statement released to the Aspen Daily News. Pitkin County Sheriff Bob Braudis, a personal friend of Thompson, confirmed the death to the News. Sheriff's officials did not return calls to The Associated Press late Sunday. Juan Thompson found his father's body. Thompson's wife, Anita, was not home at the time. Besides the 1972 drug-hazed classic about Thompson's visit to Las Vegas, he also wrote "Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72." The central character in those wild, sprawling satires was "Dr. Thompson," a snarling, drug- and alcohol-crazed observer and participant. Thompson is credited with pioneering New Journalism -- or, as he dubbed it, "gonzo journalism" -- in which the writer made himself an essential component of the story. Much of his earliest work appeared in Rolling Stone magazine. "Fiction is based on reality unless you're a fairy-tale artist," Thompson told the AP in 2003. "You have to get your knowledge of life from somewhere. You have to know the material you're writing about before you alter it." An acute observer of the decadence and depravity in American life, Thompson also wrote such collections "Generation of Swine" and "Songs of the Doomed." His first ever novel, "The Rum Diary," written in 1959, was first published in 1998. Thompson was a counterculture icon at the height of the Watergate era, and Richard Nixon once said he represented "that dark, venal, and incurably violent side of the American character." Thompson also was the model for Gary Trudeau's balding "Uncle Duke" in the comic strip "Doonesbury" and was portrayed on screen by Johnny Depp in a film adaptation of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." Other books include "The Great Shark Hunt," "Hell's Angels" and "The Proud Highway." His most recent effort was "Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness." His compound in Woody Creek, not far from Aspen, was almost as legendary as Thompson. He prized peacocks and weapons; in 2000, he accidentally shot and slightly wounded his assistant, Deborah Fuller, trying to chase a bear off his property. |

Lort! Han var ellers god. Omend lidt skør. Tænk at kalde den altid smilende George W. Bush for et "whore beast"... |

Det har været en trist uge med visheden om HSTs selvmord. Blandt hans arbejder er specielt de tre første bøger virkelig gode (ser her bort fra The Rum Diary). Hells Angels er en imponerende skildring af hvordan det var at være rocker og samtidigt et voldsomt lidt selvreflektivt billed på dets samtid. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas og on the Campaign Trail er udbygninger af dette billed. Meget twisted, meget morsomt, meget trist, en stor lyrisk rejse når det var bedst. R.I.P.

Ok. Han er i gang med at tale med sin kone om deres planer senere på dagen i telefonen. Midt i en sætning omkring en kolonne, han skriver på ESPN, hvor han spørger om hun kommer hjem fra sin helseklub, hører hun så en dæmpet lyd. Hun står bare og venter på, at han kommer tilbage på telefonen. Hunters 6årige sønnesøn, der sidder på etagen ovenpå (ingen musik), hører en lyd, der får ham til at tro at hans farfar måske har tabt en bog. Lyddæmpet. * Hunter, hvis bøger af mekanisk forudsigelighed bliver bestsellers, var på tidspunktet i gang med at skrive en bog om en pædofili-ring, der - som den, der blev afsløret i slutningen af 80'erne - efter hans udsagn involverer spidspersoner fra begge politiske partier, og prominente officerer i det Hvide Hus. * Det er fandme godt, at enhver der tror på at konspirationer finder sted, er mør i bøtten. |
