The New York Daily News is reporting some unhappiness between Anita Thompson and Jann Wenner over the upcoming Gonzo: The Life of Hunter S. Thompson, An Oral Biography.

The funny thing with biographies is that people often say different things and it's understandable - memories get fuzzy or reconfabulated, people want to sound more important or what not. Some people completely remember things wrong too - ask four different people what happened at one event and you'll get four different stories. And there's always people with the "best" dirt and rumours too. I for one, would like to know what HST would think of all this post-mortem attention.

It would be quite interesting to sit down and compare the recollections in this new Gonzo article/book by the same people that appeared in E. Jean Carroll's Hunter, which was published about 15 years ago. If the article is any indication, it's probably in a similar format, but without the alternating ficticious chapters. Heh, I thought those were a hoot when I was 15 or 16 and still do :-)

Hey there, all anonymous questions are screened. Only I can read them until I release them, so it's only necessary to reply once.

Anyway, in answer to your question, I'm not aware of any paternity suits.
