  • A Postmodern Picaresque: the Limits of the Sovereign Self in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
    TITLE PAGE A Postmodern Picaresque: The Limits of the Sovereign Self in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Clayton Chiarelott A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Bill Albertini, Advisor Phil Dickinson ii ABSTRACT Bill Albertini, Advisor The novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream by Hunter S. Thompson is often celebrated by popular culture and either ignored or derided by literary critics, while this thesis reads it in relation to the picaresque literary tradition with a consideration for both the mass appeal and the disturbing qualities that make it a messy and difficult text. At times it comes across as transgressive in the way it creates sovereign space for alternative lifestyles, sometimes referred to as freaks by the narrator, Raoul Duke, but those moments are fleeting. More often, the narrator and his attorney, Dr. Gonzo, are reinscribing a dominant structure that abuses the less privileged and less mobile members of society, such as a hitchhiker, a maid, and a waitress. Moreover, the narrator even ends up working against himself and counteracting what he apparently values: mobility, individual sovereignty and liberty, and his version American Dream. Through a rapidly moving and episodic narrative structure reminiscent of the picaresque tradition but with a postmodern twist that amplifies and accelerates the format to such an extreme that it paradoxically paralyzes meaningful movement in a focused direction, the novel proves both appealing and unsettling.

  • Kuraska 1 Matt Kuraska Doonesbury: Research Paper Hunter S
    Kuraska 1 Matt Kuraska Doonesbury: Research Paper Hunter S. Thompson changed the field of journalism throughout his career in writing which included working for ‘Rolling Stone’ and publishing several books. He was known for his rock and roll lifestyle as well as his tendency towards including personal information about himself in his assignments. This became labeled as gonzo journalism which focused on the writer being heavily involved with the events he or she was covering. Although this made for exciting articles for readers, other audiences used this insider information to ridicule or satire Thompson as a writer and person. One of the most prominent examples of this was done by the ‘Washington Post’ newspaper through a comic strip called Doonesbury. Created by Garry Trudeau, this comic featured a character by the name of Uncle Duke with striking similarities to Hunter S. Thompson. In fact, it comes as no surprise that the character be named Duke after Thompson used Raoul Duke as an alias in his book titled “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” while he was recording his search for the American dream. Trudeau created Uncle Duke as an accurate representation of Thompson’s physical qualities as well. In the strips, he is shown as an older, balding man who spends the majority of his time smoking a cigarette in Thompson’s iconic holder (Trudeau). Doonesbury, however, is much more than just a comic strip in a newspaper. It is a community of artists, writers, and readers which has evolved over the 40 years of existence. Their online website includes resources for readers to openly critique their publishing under the “Blowback” section.
