It’s creatively written and entertaining. I recently read the scathing “He Was a Crook“ obituary for Richard Nixon that Thompson wrote after the former president died in 1994, because somebody posted it for me on social media. I don’t recall reading him in Rolling Stone, either.


If my memory is correct, I've never read a Hunter S.
