By the time he was eighteen, he was driving across America in a broken-down Ford without a penny to his name and his mother and his kid sister Freddie in tow, looking for just one more paycheck to keep them all alive.A bittersweet comedy of a hard-won American life, ROUGHNECK chronicles the many jobs, near-criminal escapades, and downright unlawful grifts of the man who would become one of crime fiction's most enduring writers, in a larger-than-life literary memoir--or wildly entertaining tall tale--as only Thompson could tell it. Hard times have never sounded so good.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52193999421728,"sku":"NEW0316403814","price":26.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71bI6na8x-L.jpg?v=1786897085","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/roughneck-mulholland-classic-0316403814","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
