Thompson's most eccentric book in a new, limited edition The Curse of Lono is to Hawaii what Fear and Loathing was to Las Vegas: the crazy tales of a Journalist's "coverage" of a news event that ends up being a wild ride to the dark side of Americana.

This curious book, considered an oddity among Hunter's oeuvre, has been long out of print, prompting collectors to search high and low for an original copy. Resurrected by TASCHEN in a bigger size with splendid, full-color illustrations and a foreword by Sean Penn, The Curse of Lono is now available in a special 1000-copy edition, numbered and hand-signed by Thompson and Steadman.

Classic Dr. Thompson. The story is great and it was every thing I always hope for in H.S.T. And Ralph Steadman only compliments Thompson and his writing to the best visual possible. Long live LONO!! And Hunter S. Thompson!! The Crazy Never Die.
