Below is the story of my FIRST attempt to get this audio done.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eventually, I had to try in North Carolina.<\/em><\/p>\n

That didn’t work out either.<\/em><\/p>\n

Finally, I reached all the way over to Portland, OR, and we were gold.<\/em> The audio will be out this November for the 2024 Christmas sales!!!<\/p>\n

Here’s a warning. If your book is complex, perhaps with multiple voices, go to an experienced professional. And even that might not work. Audio is tricky and demanding.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ultimately, it was all for naught. Both of the first two attempts. Then I fumed in bed, and it came to me to surrender. Instantly I found the next morning an audio company that asked: Do you have a project that needs out-of-the-box thinking?<\/em>\u00a0 And the rest is history. For my project, I had to go right to the top. But to go back and trace my initial misadventure, which was no fault of anyone – it was just a complex project – here goes.<\/p>\n

I went down to Louisville, KY, one of my favorite places, for six days to haunt the sound studio of Bill Hardesty, who took the above photo of me at the Brown Hotel. Staying there is always a memorable experience. Ron Whitehead sat at my side almost the whole time as I read practically every word of the massive book myself. He read a small number of pages, always a treat A huge thanks to Ron, who set everything up. And to Bill for being fearless and generous.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

DESCRIPTION:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/strong>Hell\u2019s Angels Letters <\/strong><\/em>is a must-have text for any Hunter S. Thompson fan. Lavishly documented and illustrated with the actual correspondence that led to the\u00a0<\/strong>publication of his breakthrough literary effort, Hell\u2019s Angels<\/em>, this coffee-table book literally shows how HST boot-strapped his way\u00a0<\/strong>from an impoverished nobody journalist to growing legend.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kyle K. Mann, Gonzo<\/em> Today. Print available only at norfolkpress.com.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At last, with print book and the soon-to-be-released audio<\/span> <\/strong><\/span>of the Norfolk Press print book The <\/em>Hell\u2019s Angels Letters: Hunter S. Thompson, Margaret Harrell and the Making of an American Classic<\/em><\/a>, the public can go inside the experience of Hunter Thompson at Random House. This book, which focuses on his letters to his copy editor,\u00a0Margaret Harrell (available nowhere else), is an important revelation in the legacy of Thompson. \u201cIf Hell\u2019s Angels<\/em> hadn\u2019t happened I never would have been able to write\u00a0Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas<\/em>\u00a0or anything else . . . I felt like I got through a door just as it was closing,\u201d Hunter told\u00a0Paris Review<\/em>. Check out the $9.95 Amazon E-book<\/a> and (soon to be released) full-295-page audio book (Amazon).<\/p>\n
