North Carolina - Gonzo journalist Hunter Thompson's drug-fueled, wild run through the American cultural landscape ended seven years ago on Feb. 20 when he shot himself through the head in the style of his idol, Ernest Hemingway. North Carolina native Margaret A. Harrell of Raleigh hung with him for part of the ride.
She recounts her adventure in "Keep This Quiet! My Relationship with Hunter S. Thompson, Milton Klonsky, and Jan Mensaert" (Saeculum University Press: Sibiu, Romania, and Raleigh: 2011; 258 pages, softcover, $17.95).
She had an affair with Thompson. She carried on purely platonic relationships with Klonsky and Mensaert, she says. The attraction with them was intellectual and artistic, she says. Well, OK.
