“才华横溢、极具挑衅、肆无忌惮且狂妄大胆，Hunter S. Thompson 恶名昭彰的离经叛道——在新闻报道、个人生活以及法律层面——改变了美国文学的格局与美国偶像的面貌。Kingdom of Fear 追溯了 Thompson 作为叛逆者的一生轨迹——从一个蔑视一切权威的肯塔基伶牙俐齿少年，到一位藐视常规、化身为事实、虚构与致幻物质狂野交织的新闻记者。”“不妨称之为暴徒的演进史。这里记录了构成 Thompson 传奇轨迹的成长经历，以及那些古怪……”

对！我最初的想法就是从那儿来的，《恐惧王国》里提到了这一点，那是我最喜欢的亨特·S·汤普森（或写他的）书之一——他是我有史以来最喜欢的作家之一。
Yes! That's where I got the idea from originally, it was mentioned in Kingdom of Fear, one of my favourite books by/about Hunter S. Thompson -- who is one of my all time favourite authors.
……为了下三滥不择手段。两人都极其极其极其愤世嫉俗。两人都把身边的人当工具人。但天哪，这两个人的作品给人的感觉简直天差地别。汤普森晚期的《恐惧王国》是我拥有的他为数不多的几本书之一，但似乎很有代表性。它描写了保守派狂热的腐败与悲哀（包括民主党阵营里的人物，比如时任市长黛安·范斯坦）在……

……在这个国家。这个地方已经堕落到正常人必须拼命捞钱，然后把钱和全家人都移民到北欧的程度了吗？亨特·S·汤普森把美国称为“恐惧王国”，然后开枪自杀了。阿尔·佐丹奴曾试图通过社会运动来挽救，但最后认定这个国家精神失常，搬去了南美。北欧在几乎每一项生活质量指标上都碾压美国。……

Thompson called America a Kingdom of Fear and then shot himself. Al Giordano tried to help through activism but concluded this country is psychopathic and moved to S. America. N. Europe beats the US on almost every quality of life metric. The…
