Rum Diary

Rum Diary

by Sturgill Simpson, Hunter S. Thompson

1999

Before the gonzo journalism, there was a young Hunter S. Thompson in 1950s Puerto Rico, adrift and searching for purpose. This early novel plunges you into a sun-drenched, rum-fueled world of corruption, temptation, and a journalist entangled with a captivating woman. It’s a wild, energetic ride through a vibrant, morally ambiguous landscape, perfect for readers who enjoy gritty, darkly comedic explorations of youthful disillusionment.
