"More or less... and this qualifier is the essence of what, for no particular reason, I've decided to call Gonzo Journalism. It is a style of 'reporting' based on William Faulkner's idea that the best fiction is far more
true than any kind of journalism- and the best journalists have always known this.
"Which is not to say that Fiction is necessarily 'more true' than Journalism- or vice versa- but that both 'fiction' and 'journalism' are artificial categories; and that both forms, at their best, are only two different means to the same end..."
- Hunter S. Thompson, 1971.
