>Son goes pricey UK university and sends him a weird letter about a dark entity but with a gay vibe.
>Old man confused if son closet homosexual.
>writes a funny short story of himself wrestling a gay black panther.
or something like that, I don't remember exactly.
however, this book kindled my love for books and writing. suckered me into reading almost all of his stuff. his son's book too. HST godtier for me because his works make me lol irl.

For me, it was the scene where Gonzo offers to sell heroin to the people in the other car and his yelling obscenities at them 10/10, made me audibly laugh.
