The story was also adapted for a movie starring Johnny Depp, released in 2011.Īs something by way of disclosure, Thompson was a major influence on my writing and so there might be a little natural bias towards his work. Thompson had archived the manuscript after seven rejections from publishers and then became too swept up in the politics of the ‘60s to further pursue its publication. This novel has the shadow of legend behind it in that it’s something of a “lost novel,” having been written while Thompson was a 22-year-old writer in early 1960s Puerto Rico but not published until 1998, after actor Johnny Depp discovered it among Thompson’s papers.
