I made the decision to switch my major from law to journalism after reading Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 72 my sophomore year. After that his work became a major influence on my life, in many ways.
Hunter was one of the greatest english prose writers of the last 100 years, if not THE greatest, IMO. Among many other things, he taught me the invaluable lesson that all communication is subjective. He also had one of the most finely attuned bullshit detectors in journalism. Above all he valued Truth.
I put HST in the same category as Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Kerouac. RIP Hunter. We miss you.
