The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved
🛒 Purchase Options
📝 Description
A seminal article by Hunter S. Thompson, first published in Scanlan's Monthly in 1970, often considered the birth of Gonzo journalism. The essay chronicles Thompson's chaotic and drug-fueled experience covering the Kentucky Derby, blending subjective reporting with fictional elements to create a new style of immersive journalism. This piece is notable for its raw, unfiltered style and its collaboration with illustrator Ralph Steadman, whose distinctive artwork became synonymous with Thompson's writing.
