Oh, here’s another book about being free and careless and irresponsible, as well as totally tasteless. I suppose nowadays you’d just say Trash. As for me, I’ll keep treasuring that one moment:
- “When are you taking off?”, Bruce asked.
-”As soon as possible, I said. “No point hanging around this town any longer. I have all I need. Anything else would only confuse me.”
He seemed surprised. “You found the American Dream?”he said. “In this town”? I nodded. “We’re sitting on the main nerve right now”, I said.
Encore un livre qui parle d’être libre et irresponsable, inconscient, dans une Amérique en déliquescence. Et le rêve américain dans tout ca?

Ah yes what a great soundtrack to a great movie! The book however is truly astounding. Why not check out Thompson’s own mixtape – Where Were You When The Fun Stopped? Now that is worth listening to!!
