Fear & Loathing in Amsterdam: The Smoke Abortion

From the forthcoming "Dogshit Park & other atrocities" [Far Gone Books, 2014]--a collection of short stories by and interviews between Todd Brendan Fahey and many notable literary luminaries.

REVIEW:

Not the 'second coming of Hunter S. Thompson' - just, better

Of his own writings and research, Fahey had not discovered Hunter S. Thompson until well into his own "non-fiction novel," Hell Bottled Up!: Chronicles of a Late Propaganda Minister. As he has said, he is "of a comedic cast of mind," which was similar to Thompson, but absolutely independent of "his idol." We can either believe him or not. But Fahey's writing is of the most-pure Gonzo journalism ever devised. He is either a "master copy-cat" or an original genius, as was Thompson.
