The writer of Fear and Loathing's first novel. From the Prologue:
(on the main characters career as a writer) I shared a vagrant optimism that some of us were making real progress, that we had taken an honest road, and that the best of us would inevitably make it over the top.
At the same time, I shared a dark suspicion that the life we were leading was a lost cause, that we were all actors, kidding ourselves along on a senseless odyssey. It was the tension between the two poles-a restless idealism on one hand and a sense of impending doom on the other-that kept me going.
