Does anyone consider Hunter S. Thompson as within the hard
boiled tradition? Someone recently maintained to me that he
was, I disputed it, but I'm not entirely sure. For one thing,
his work is not fiction (although that's open to question,
isn't it?). Second, his potpourri of drug-induced horros
doesn't seem very hard-boiled to me.
