Songs of the Doomed: More Notes on the Death of the American Dream

Hunter S. Thompson  

First edition, first printing, inscribed by Hunter S. Thompson on the front free endpaper and dated “Owl Farm — Aug 17 ’92” along the front pastedown. The inscription reads in full:  “To Jeanette — thanx for the grapefruit. The fat is in the fire. Good luck — HST / Hunter.”  A lively inscription, written from Thompson’s Owl Farm compound in Woody Creek, Colorado. The phrase “the fat is in the fire”—a variation on the idiom “the fat is in the fire” or “the fat’s in the fire”—appears frequently in Thompson’s correspondence and the reference to “grapefruit” suggests a personal exchange.

New York: Summit Books, 1990. Octavo. Publisher’s red paper-covered boards, black cloth spine, lettered in silver; pp. [x], 384.  A near fine copy in a near fine, unclipped dust jacket. Binding firm, light shelfwear to extremities, foxing to edges of text block; internally clean. Jacket with minor traces of wear, presenting very well and protected in archival mylar.
