How much of it was real? How much was horseshit?

The going to cover the race is real. So is the alcohol. The drugs are inserted afterwards because HST took that drugs lead to prison warning seriously, like he should.

There's other real shit where he wrote about drugs, but that isn't it.

Doesn't matter.

Hunter was a journalist at heart, not a fiction writer. I assume it was nearly all real, because I don't really trust him to imagine all that transpired.

who cares lol
if i had to guess id say the general premise and drug induced depression and confusion afterwards and nothing else

I doubt even HST could've given you the answer to that.

The whole novel was horseshit
