The Wild Strange Ride Of Hunter S. Thompson: Part I
Hunter S. Thompson leaves Las Vegas and takes America on a trip through the fear of midnight on the trail of the American dream. Part humor mixed with his own unique blend of satire, his writings convey a sense of wisdom describing the realism of societal and political observations of his day. Thompson still exemplifies the conflict existing inside the mind of a writer, as he deals with the boundaries between the reality of craft, the imagery of the myth of a writer living in the framework of society, and the reality of a man who can never live up to a legend once such status has been achieved.

Love him or hate him, Thompson was able to create more controversy than his other beatnick contemporaries. Although, he never acieved the same status in the world of the literary elite as Jack Kerouac, his contribution to the scope of literature makes the craft of his writing worth taking a second glance in the notes and prose of those beat poets of olden times.

The Wild Strange Ride Of Hunter S. Thompson: Part III
Hunter S. Thompson's experiences would not only help to produce several controversial novels, but would also help to form the inner conscousness of a future activist and candidate for public office. This article examines the now infamous election for county sheriff in Aspen, Colorado, and the views that Thompson holds to this day on the current power structure. The modern national security state may now be firmly in place, but Thompson is not afraid to comment with honesty and truthfullness on the inner deconstruction of our democracy by forces working inside the corporate world and our own government.

In Memorium: A Great Man Meets His Death. Reflections On The Life of Hunter S. Thompson
When I first heard of the death of Hunter S. Thompson, I had a desire to write an essay expressing thoughts on the memory of his passing. Since this is a page dedicated to the writings of the Beats, it seemed only appropriate to remember Thompson, but the more I thought about his death, the harder it became to write on the man without avoiding the standard cliches that often abound on the passing of a great man. For the past month, I have given a great deal of thought on how to express the emotions felt by the literary community on the hole left in the genre of modern fiction since his death. Eulogies are so hard to write, especially when a writer as unique as Thompson was leaves the literary world. His distinct personality will undoubtedly be missed.

The Endless Walk Of Richard Brautigan
Richard Brautigan was known for his preoccupation with death. His prose and poetry are filled with the beauty and imagery surroundings the mysterious realms of the unknown. After his death, it was thought that his voice had been taken from us forever by the quick hand of fate. The reasons for his suicide may never be fully discovered, but the short narrative that he left behind may provide clues to the curious observer. His notes may also provide an insight into his creativity and brilliance, for no longer may the critics freely assume that his personal story was of a man destroyed by the horrors of drink and opulance, for as his narrative shows, Brautigan was a writer emerging into a new burst of artistic vision that was about to carry him into new cannons of the literary craft.
