Hunter S. Thompson is called the father of gonzo journalism, a style created without any pretense of objectivity. The author's most famous work is the novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, published in 1971. The novel has been adapted into a film twice, the most famous version being Terry Gilliam's 1998 film starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro.Critics call "The Curse of Hawaii" a kind of continuation of "Fear and Hate" — the plot centers on Hunter Thompson's trip to Hawaii in 1980 to write a report on the Honolulu Marathon.
