Review
"What author would you like to have over to your house? Vonnegut, Hemingway, Angelou? Thanks to the University Press of Mississippias Literary Conversations Series, the question is no longer moot, and you donat even have to make dinner.
Chances are, the contributors whose articles make up these publications have already asked the same questions that you might and have provided the insights that you would relish. Fortunately, "Conversations with Hunter S. Thompson" (University Press of Mississippi, 2008, $22) is especially rewarding, primarily due to the flamboyant personality of Thompson himself."

Whether in books, essays, or collection of his correspondence, his incisive voice and style are unmistakable.This volume brings together a collection of personal interviews that trace the trajectory of Thompson's prolific and much publicized career, revealing his determination, energy, outrageous wit, and irrepressible passion.
