Mentions in Episodes:
- Episode: Timothy Denevi on Hunter S Thompson and the Art of Journalism
Podcast: The Daily StoicHis son wrote a great book called 'Stories I Tell Myself,' which tries to encapsulate Thompson's struggle. I attempted to conclude with Nixon leaving, but the years after were really tough because they reflect our current understanding of alcoholism, coupled with how Thompson would take Dexedrine. There was a price to be paid later, and his son writes about getting hooked on the substance.
