Begun in 1959 by a then-twenty-two-year-old Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary is a brilliantly tangled love story of jealousy, treachery and violent alcoholic lust in the Caribbean boomtown that was San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the late 1950s. Exuberant and mad, youthful and energetic, The Rum Diary is an outrageous, drunken romp in the spirit of Thompson's bestselling Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Hell's Angels.

    This early novel by Thompson, about an American newspaperman in Puerto Rico in the 1950s, is a long way from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but shows flashes of the frenetic style that later defined Gonzo journalism. A curiosity for fans, and probably better than his last handful of non-fiction books, when he'd run out of gas.
