Description

Quando Hunter Thompson iniciou a escrita de Rum: Diário de um jornalista bêbado, estava com 22 anos e tinha se mudado há pouco para San Juan, em Porto Rico, para trabalhar como jornalista. Quando Paul Kemp, o protagonista do livro, desembarca na mesma cidade para trabalhar no Daily News, é com a intenção de deixar para trás a correria de Nova York. Em comum entre os dois há também o gosto pelo jornalismo, pelo rum e pelas mulheres. Mais conhecido como gonzo, Thompson surpreendeu os leitores quando Rum foi publicado em 1998, depois de ficar quase quarenta anos engavetado. Ao mostrar um grupo de jornalistas rodeados por um ambiente caótico e de instabilidade social, o escritor evoca o legado de Hemingway, a quem muito admirava. Estrelado por Johnny Depp no cinema, este segundo romance de Hunter Thompson, escrito nos anos 60, prenuncia as obras de ruptura escritas na maturidade do autor.
