Hunter S. Thompson. Beyond the drugs, the guns and the legend.

For more than forty years, I’ve been reading, collecting and thinking about the work of Hunter S. Thompson.

HSTBooks began as a bibliographical resource for readers and collectors. It still is.

But these days I’m interested in another question too:

What can Hunter teach us about surviving ordinary life?

Fear. Courage. Conformity. Authority. Friendship. Failure. Excess. Ageing. Keeping your nerve when the world becomes ridiculous.

You don’t have to want to be Hunter S. Thompson.

You don’t even have to have read him.

You just have to be human.
