About the image

A close-up of Hunter S. Thompson with his iconic cigarette holder in this photograph taken on the island of Cozumel, Mexico in 1974. The mercurial writer is often credited with the birth of "Gonzo journalism" - a style of writing that places the reporter as part of the story via a first-person narrative. Other characteristics of this style include the use of sarcasm, humor, exaggeration, and profanity, all Thompson trademarks.
