Specifikacia Screwjack: A Short Story Thompson Hunter S.
A rare collection of wild and outlandish short stories--long thought to be lost--by literary legend Hunter S. Thompson.Hunter S. Thompson's notorious triptych Screwjack is as salacious, unsettling, and brutally lyrical as it has been rumored to be since its private printing in 1991. "We live in a jungle of pending disasters," Thompson warns in the opening piece "Mescalito," a fictionalized chronicle of his first mescaline experience and what it sparked in him while he was alone in an Los Angeles hotel room in February 1969---including a bout of paranoia that would have made most people just scream no, once and for all. But for Thompson, along with the downside came a burst of creativity too powerful to ignore. The result is a poetic, perceptive, and wildly funny stream-of-consciousness take on 1969 America as only Hunter S. Thompson could see it. Screwjack
