 Ralph Steadman

RALPH STEADMAN ***
talk & slideshow for "The Joke’s Over"
Thursday, November 2 at 7:00 pm

In 1970, artist Ralph Steadman came to America in search of work - and found more than he bargained for. He met writer Hunter S. Thompson, and their working relationship resulted in gonzo journalism. Steadman's "The Joke’s Over" tells of a remarkable collaboration that documented the turbulent 70s, and details a friendship filled with both betrayal and under­standing.


Ralph Steadman has illustrated many books, including Hunter S. Thompson’s "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." He is the author of "The Grapes of Ralph" (for which he won a Glenfiddich Food & Drink Award) and other books. Ralph Steadman lives in England.

*** This Booksmith sponsored event will take place at the Park Branch Library (1833 Page Street) in San Francisco. /// Please note: signed copies of "The Jokes Over" (signed by Ralph Steadman prior to the event) will be available for those interested in purchasing a book. Ralph Steadman will not be able to sign books or autographs at this event.
