Better Than Sex by Hunter S. Thompson | 1994 First Edition Hardcover Gonzo Journalism

Better Than Sex: Confessions of a Political Junkie

by Hunter S. Thompson — First Edition, 1994 (Random House)

The Godfather of Gonzo journalism, Hunter S. Thompson, returns to the chaos of American politics in Better Than Sex — a raw, unapologetic, and often hilarious chronicle of the 1992 U.S. presidential campaign and its aftermath.

With his trademark fury and wit, Thompson exposes the media circus surrounding Bill Clinton’s rise to power and the moral collapse of Washington. Blending political insight, satire, and biting social commentary, this book captures the manic spirit of early 1990s America through Thompson’s unmistakable lens.

This copy is a true first edition, confirmed by the number line 2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3, and features the striking black-and-gold jacket design with a photograph of the author.
