Ransoming Pagan Babies

Angebote / Angebote:

From his galvanizing exposés in Ramparts magazine to his hand in inventing gonzo, Warren Hinckle upended twentieth-century investigative reporting and gave it new provocation and zest. In the first career-spanning collection of writings by this key figure of American journalism, Ransoming Pagan Babies ranges an astonishing thematic sweep: Joseph Mitchell-esque portraits of old San Francisco and its characters, insightful reporting on conflicts in Selma, Northern Ireland, and Vietnam, forays into local politics, and piercing depictions of a Bay Area riven by inequality and assassination. Reading Hinckle drops the reader into the heart of history-and, just as importantly, it's fun. Hinckle wrote about his subjects with bluster, tenacity, heart, and a desire for adventure and justice. This book is the first to capture his swashbuckling energy and expansive talent in a single volume.
