“The Rum Diary.” Thompson’s long lost novel. Written in the 60s published in 1998. It is an account of fictional journalist Paul Kemp’s trip to Puerto Rico to work for “The Daily News” newspaper. Some describe it as a treacherous, violent, sexy account of a crazy journalist loose in San Juan. Sound familiar? Recently released as a movie starring who else but Johnny Depp.
