Julia Allison compares herself to Hunter S. Thompson
Comments Lest we not forget that Thompson also wrote a novel at 22 while studying at Columbia (which has since been optioned into a Johnny Depp-starring feature film), wrote some of the most scathing yet accurate political commentary of his era, and—most relevant to this comparison—absolutely hated that the notoriety he earned from helping develop gonzo journalism turned his presence at an event into the story, which meant he could no longer lurk in the shadows as a casual observer like any good journalist worth their salt should.
And what has Ms. Allison given us? Plagiarism accusations, “strategic partnerships,” pictures of cupcakes and advice on miracle cleanses.
