Curse of Lono by Hunter Thompson (2005, Hardcover)
The Curse of Lono is to Hawaii what Fear and Loathing was to Las Vegas: the crazy tales of a journalist’s “coverage” of a news event that ends up being a wild ride to the dark side of Americana. Originally published in 1983, Curse features all of the zany, hallucinogenic wordplay and feral artwork for which the Hunter S. Thompson/Ralph Steadman duo have become known and loved. This curious book, considered an oddity among Hunter’s oeuvre, has been long out of print, prompting collectors to search high and low for an original copy. This is the large hardcover version, without a dust jacket that I’ve lost to time. The book is in pretty much perfect condition, small amount of dirt on the back that would wipe off likely.
