Pic related is my pick.
I saw someone post about these vintage contemporaries and picked up a few that seemed interesting.
This one was really great. I would never had found it if I hadn't looked in the publishing line.
Tommy P even gives his regards on the back cover.
Cool-- never heard of that one OP.
I really like that vintage contemporaries line, especially James Crumley.
Also, pic related seem super /lit/ but I never see it mentioned on here.

I picked that one up as well. Haven't gotten to it yet but definitely seems right up my alley.

it's actually pretty acclaimed, but people don't read it nearly enough, especially today

I tried that one. Got bored about halfway through. Not very good, to be honest.

I read this years ago on my alcoholic binge. It was very good.

I enjoyed A Fan's Notes. His other books weren't as good. I read some parts of a biography of him. I had been hoping A Fan's Notes turned his life around. No such luck. Not even success could help him.

Asylum by Seabrook. Sort of an early version of Hunter s Thompson
