Includes List of Other Books by Hunter S. Thompson; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote; and Introduction. "Most smart people tend to feel queasy when the conversation turns to things like 'certain death' and 'total failure' and the idea of a ' doomed generation.' But not me. I am comfortable with these themes." - Hunter S. Thompson. "In Generation of Swine the incomparable Hunter S. Thompson journeys by ship, plane, and borowed car to the outposts of civilization to find intelligent life and reports back, instead, on the demented state of current events and, once again, the Death of the American Dream. Thompson has been keeping a journal in the pages of the San Francisco Examiner for the past two years, providing wicked commentary on a country gone wildly astray. He keeps a running tally on the 1988 Presidential race and the folly of the Iran/contra hearings, watching closely the ever-changing fortunes of such folk as George Bush, Ed Meese, Gary Hart, and Oliver North, not to mentiona the Marcoses, Bakkers, and Duvaliers. What he finds is deeply disturbing: as he puts it, "Huge brains, small necks, weak muscles and fat wallets -- these are the dominant physical characteristics of the '80s. the Generation of Swine." Against a backdrop of meandering garbage barges, late-night tattoo sessions, and Soldier of Fortune trade shows, Thompson points out the evils apparent in everything from the puzzling goings-on in the White House to the outrageous behavior of certain television evangelists. Sprinkled liberally with quotes from Revelation and tales of depravity and destruction, Generation of Swine is Hunter S. Thompson at his apocalyptic best. It represents that rare match of subject matter and critic: today's news and America's quintessential outlaw journalist." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps., Books<
