The sultry classic of a journalist''s sordid life in Puerto Rico

Paul Kemp has moved from New York to the steamy heat of Puerto Rico to work at the Daily News. He starts hanging out at Al''s Backyard, a local den selling booze and hamburgers to vagrant journalists who are mostly crazy drunks on the verge of quitting. Then he meets Yeamon, whose delectable girlfriend has Kemp stewing in his own lust. But the idle tension that builds up in places where men sweat twenty-four hours a day is reaching a violent breaking point.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson nasceu em Louisville, no Kentucky, Estados Unidos, em 1937. Figura lendária da contracultura americana, foi criador do jornalismo gonzo, uma mistura de reportagem e ficção, escrita na primeira pessoa e sem qualquer pretensão de objectividade. Trabalhou para diversas publicações, entre elas a Rolling Stone. Entre as suas obras mais conhecidas contam-se Hell’s Angels e Delírio em Las Vegas, tendo esta última sido adaptada ao cinema e protagonizada por Johnny Depp e Benicio del Toro. Diário a Rum está também a ser adaptado ao grande ecrã, contando uma vez mais com Johnny Depp no papel principal. Hunter S. Thompson pôs termo à vida em 2005.
