Publisher Description

An almost unnaturally poignant love story from the father of “Gonzo” journalism and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Hunter S. Thompson.

What makes the romantic short story Screwjack so touching, for all its queerness, is the aching melancholy in its depiction of the modern man's burden: that "we are doomed. Mama has gone off to Real Estate School...and after that maybe even to Law School. We will never see her again."

Hunter S. Thompson’s most searing and unnaturally poignant love story, Screwjack is simultaneously eerie and feverish, debauched and affecting. Never before—and perhaps never since—has modern man’s melancholia been so vividly revealed in one powerful story.

Worth it!

A brilliant love story. Well worth a dollar a page. My first book from the store... Still horrified and snickering to myself.

Where is the read

So I just paid $17 for a story that has 12 pages. 3 of which aren't even the book. How is it that under 20 pages can be so incredibly expensive. This was my first try of this app and I am extremely disappointed.
