“Parlor gossip with a Gonzo twist. It’s an essential installment in the Hunter figure legend that continues to grow.” —Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History at Rice University and editor of the Hunter S. Thompson letters collections The Proud Highway and Fear and Loathing in America

Michael Cleverly and Bob Braudis, close friends of the legendary Gonzo journalist and author Hunter S. Thompson, share stories of what life was like living alongside the writer and counterculture icon, with his penchant for firearms, explosives and drugs. As fellow residents of Woody Creek Colorado, where Thompson spent several decades of his life, the authors—an artist and the local sheriff—relate anecdotes about their friend and favorite hell-raiser that have never been told before. Outrageous and hilarious, The Kitchen Readings is must-have biography for fans of the legendary writer.
