- Abstract
The US journalist Hunter S. Thompson became known in the Western world as the creator of the Gonzo Journalism in the 1970s. However, in Thompson's biography is possible to see the author studying methods and narrative techniques that were used in news coverage he did for magazines such as Rolling Stone and Playboy. Due to its irreverent style, sometimes cynic, the Thompson's character- pseudonym, Raoul Duke, came to life, becoming strips caricature of the Washington Post and starring three Hollywood productions. Thus, the paper analyzes how these products contributed the imaginary construction that today surrounds the figure of Hunter S. Thompson. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
