Hunter Stockton Thompson was an American journalist and author who pioneered New Journalism. He rose to prominence with Hell's Angels (1967) and established the Gonzo journalism subgenre—a style in which the writer becomes central to the narrative, inserting themselves directly into the story rather than maintaining traditional journalistic distance. He lived from 1937 to 2005.
