About this product
Product Information
In the spring of 1970, 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. The Joke's Over tells 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. A rollicking, no-holds-barred memoir, The Joke's Over is the definitive inside story of the Gonzo years.

PRAISE FOR THE JOKE'S OVER "Hunter Thompson's marvelously deranged illustrator, Ralph Steadman, gives us a terrific memoir with The Joke's Over . . . His testament to Thompson, light on hyperbole, is both fitting and touching."-- New York Post "There can be no question that Hunter S. Thompson's pivotal works would not be the same without the accompanying artworks of his partner Ralph Steadman . . . A vivid, well-written paean to Thompson and, by extension, the character of the American rebel."-- The Buffalo News, Terrific . . . Steadman's Testament to Thompson, Light on Hyperbole, Is both Fitting and Touching., PRAISE FORUNTRODDEN GRAPES "Steadman has traveled to the world's finest wine-making regions and compiled a fabulously entertaining book about his journeys, full of his famously bizarre and amusing art. . . . To that--and to Steadman's wonderful work--we raise a glass." --The Miami Herald "And surely the unlikeliest travel book of the season isUntrodden Grapes,a volume of illustrations by Ralph Steadman, a book that is pure oxymoron. Mr. Steadman's famously anarchic style of drawing is brought to bear upon a global selection of vineyards. Mr. Steadman is on the trail of gonzo wine."--The New York Times, PRAISE FOR THE JOKE'S OVER "Hunter Thompson's marvelously deranged illustrator, Ralph Steadman, gives us a terrific memoir with The Joke's Over . . .
