Thompson?s brilliant love story of jealousy, treachery, and violent lust in the Caribbean.Begun in 1959 by a twentytwoyearold Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary is a brilliantly tangled love story of jealousy, treachery, and violent alcoholic lust in the Caribbean boomtown that was San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the late 1950s.
