“Justice is not cheap in this country, and people who insist on it are usually either desperate or possessed by some private determination bordering on monomania.”

American journalist and author of the 1970s and '80s, best known for his gonzo journalism and the novel *Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas*. His fearless, satirical style captured the excess and chaos of counterculture and political life, blending reportage with hallucinatory prose.
