''The Great Shark Hunt'' is a book by Hunter S. Thompson. Originally published in 1979 as ''Gonzo Papers, Vol. 1: The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time'', the book is a roughly 600-page collection of Thompson's essays from 1956 to the end of the 1970s, following the rise of the author's own gonzo journalism style as he moved from Air Force and sports beat-writing to straight-ahead political commentary. It is the first of four volumes in ''The Gonzo Papers'' series. ==Contents== The book is broken into four parts, moving from Thompson's earliest writing for the U.S. Air Force, through his sports articles, then into his middle years of political and cultural commentary and beyond. Some excerpts from the author's two original ''Fear and Loathing'' serials (''...in Las Vegas'' and ''...on the Campaign Trail '72'') are also included. Thompson worked for several different publications throughout his career, and ''The Great Shark Hunt'' covers articles from the ''National Observer'', ''Rolling Stone'', ''Scanlan's Monthly'', ''The New York Times'', ''Playboy'', and others. Notable persons depicted by the author as cavorting about with him include his illustrator and friend Ralph Steadman, Chicano lawyer Oscar Zeta Acosta, Olympic skier Jean-Claude Killy, and then-football player O. J. Simpson. Political figures appearing prominently in the collection include former U.S. presidents Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter, and Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern. Missing, however, are the illustrations by Ralph Steadman that originally accompanied many of the Thompson articles in this collection.
