The Joke's Over: Bruised Memories
In the spring of 1970, British artist Ralph Steadman went to America in search of work and found more than he bargained for. At the Kentucky Derby he met a former associate of the Hell's Angels, one Hunter S. Thompson. Their working relationship resulted in the now-legendary Gonzo Journalism. This book tells the inside story of a remarkable collaboration that documented the turbulent years of the civil rights movement, the Nixon years, Watergate, and the many bizarre and great events that shaped the second half of the twentieth century. When Thompson committed suicide in 2005, it was the end of a unique friendship filled with both betrayal and understanding.--From publisher description.
Gonzo the art
"Ralph Steadman's legendary partnership with American writer Hunter S. Thompson started a new style of reportage which captured the imagination of a generation. They first teamed up to cover the Kentucky Derby in May 1970." "Their most notorious collaboration, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, became one of the bestselling titles of our era. Gonzo journalism and Gonzo art symbolized the times. This collection will be the first to show Steadman's body of work over the last thirty years."--BOOK JACKET.

Ralph Steadmans Extinct Boids
"When the renowned cartoonist Ralph Steadman was asked to produce a piece for a recent exhibition of bird art, he got slightly carried away - it did, after all, make a nice change from politicians. He allowed his imagination to run wild and, an astonishing 100 paintings later, Ralph's 'Extinct Boids' was born. These remarkable pieces of art include Steadman's unique interpretations of well-known birds such as the Great Auk and Dodo, along with less familiar members of the avian firmament-- Snail-eating Coua, for example-- and a handful of bizarre creations such as the Gob Swallow, the Nasty Tern and Needless Smut, all with a riot of colour and a slice of trademark Steadman humour."--Amazon.com.
