Description

Started in 1959 with a twenty-two-year-old Rogue S. Thompson, The Rum Diary is just a brilliantly tangled love story of jealousy, treachery, and violent alcoholic lust in the Caribbean boomtown which was San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the late 1950s. The narrator, freelance correspondent Paul Kemp, irresistibly attracted to an attractive, strange lady, is quickly forced right into a world where problem and get-rich-quick plans something and guideline (including homicide) is allowable. Angry and modern, vibrant and lively, this stunning comedic run supplies a fantastic tour as captivating and crazy as Thompson’s Fear and Loathing publications.
