“Memorable . . . [Thompson] delivers yet another of his trademark cocktail mixes of unbelievable tales and dark observations about the sausage grind that is the U.S. presidential sweepstakes.”—Los Angeles Daily News
In Better Than Sex, Hunter S. Thompson wanders into the savage vortex of political power to present a groundbreaking and bizarre saga of what happens to campaign junkies behind the scenes of a victorious presidential campaign.
Better Than Sex drags you into Bill Clinton’s America, a world full of fear that stretches from Pennsylvania Avenue to Hollywood to the squalid hills of the Ozarks, where power-crazed monsters like James Carville and George Stephanopoulos seize control of a nation and wallow unashamed in a Palace of Power where the only governing ethic is raw lust. It is an ugly and disillusioning spectacle, one that only the merciful death of Richard M. Nixon—explored here in all its glorious symbolism—could defuse.
Complete with faxes sent to and received by candidate Clinton’s top aides, and 100 percent pure gonzo screeds on Richard Nixon, George Bush, and Oliver North, here is the most true-blue campaign tell-all ever penned by man or beast.
