"California, Labor Day weekend . . . early, with ocean fog still in the streets, outlaw motorcyclists wearing chains": First Edition of Hunter Thompson’s celebrated first book Hell’s Angels; Signed by Sonny Barger
First edition of Thompson's classic first book; a detailed account of his experiences living with the Hell's Angels motorcycle gang, including his relationship with Sonny Barger. Octavo, original black cloth. Boldly signed by Hell's Angels legend Sonny Barger on the front free endpaper. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Joseph del Gaudio. A superior example of this title, uncommon signed.
Thompson, the creator of Gonzo journalism, writes with energy and brutal honesty, and with a nuanced and incisive eye, as The New Yorker stated, "For all its uninhabited and sardonic humor, Thompson’s book is a thoughtful piece of work." He captures in Hell’s Angels a singular moment in American history, when the biker lifestyle was first defined, and when such countercultural movements were electrifying America. "He has presented us with a close view of a world most of us would never encounter. His language is brilliant, his eye remarkable" (The New York Times Book Review).
