About this title: In this second volume of Thompson's Gonzo Papers, the legendary writer and raconteur unloads both barrels squarely between the eyes of the "me" generation of the 1980s, attacking stupidity and weakness in all their guises.

"I believe Wayne brought this up to the Michigan cottage during one of his visits the summer my brother Fin was living there. In any case, that's where I found and read the thing. "The thing" is a collection of satirical pieces, most of them political, some more cultural, by the author of Fear and Loathing in... Most amusing to me was his straight-faced description of Richard M. Nixon's Vietnamese houseboat mistress."
"A great book if you like Hunter S. Thompson, really forward and dark, funny and weird! Worth reading this book just for the letter to Ralph Stedman about how Ralph should send his unruly son to Hunter for him to sort out by working with sheep and observations about shoes. Totally psycho and a whole lot of fun."
"In "A Generation of Swine" Hunter S. Thompson turns his sharp and angry wit upon the 1980s, particularly the Regan administration,, through the rise of "Greed is Good" economics and the Iran-Contra scandal, up until the Iran-Iraq War.
It is, beyond a doubt, an excellent book. It's not as sharp as volume 1 of the Gonzo papers, but Volume 1 had some of his most famous stuff (that wasn't written explicitly for other books) in there - his article about racial tensions in California and his meeting with Oscar Acosta, covering the Kentucky Derby with Ralph Steadman, etc.
Nonetheless, this is excellent work from Hunter, and I whole heartedly recommend it."
