Comment on Hunter S. Thompson | “Some May Never Live, But The Crazy Never Die” by emkaydoubleyou

This was a great tribute to Thompson. I especially liked your thoughts on Thompson’s views of aging and mortality. With every new election cycle I find myself wondering what he would have to say about this whole mess…
By the way, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign trail is a little dense, but worth the read if you’re at all into political history. I haven’t read Prince Jellyfish, but I should probably check that out.

I think all these reviewers are probably too young to remember life in the 1940′s (I’m not!!). Children then were far less precocious: “seen and not heard” was the order of the day, and we remained ‘children’ for far longer. I think that Bruno is very well-drawn indeed. This is probably reflected in my reluctance to encourage my grandsons to read it; I felt one needed to have a proper perspective on the holocaust to begin to understand it.
