Summary

Hunter Thompson: Rum Days

"Come quickly stop enough room for everyone in the rum barrel stop no work stop great pay stop drink all day stop sew all night stop hurry it might not last long" - this is the content of the telegram that Hunter S. Thompson intended to send to his friends from Puerto Rico, where he worked (less) and lived (more) at the end of the 50s of the last century, and upon his return to the USA (1961) turned everything into the novel Days of Rum. Although he wrote it as a 24-year-old, the main stylistic determinants of the later famous novels Hell's Angels and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (both also published by the Colorful Shop) can already be seen: a fast, subjective narration by a narrator who is completely immersed in the event he is writing about, where facts are mixed with fiction, and the events are exaggerated and told in the first person, which can be and cannot be believed equally, since it erases the boundaries of the real and fictional.
In addition to the work of a journalist, the main drivers of the plot of this novel are: humidity, heat, alcohol, nervousness, lust, love, fun, (not) finding one's way in a foreign country and among people he has just met, fear of aging... Universal themes, one would say, described in countless works before and after, but probably not in any of them in such a unique and unique way, so characteristic of Hunter S Thompson!
