About the book

The Great Shark Hunt is a book by Hunter S. Thompson, originally published in 1979. It is also known as Gonzo Papers, Vol. 1: The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time. The book is a roughly 600-page collection of Thompson's essays from 1956 to the end of the 1970s, including the rise of the author's own gonzo journalism style as he moved from Air Force and sports beat writing to straight-ahead political commentary. It is the first of what would become four volumes in The Gonzo Papers series.
