Who would be the female equivalent of Hunter Thompson?

I'm looking for a faced-paced, manic (preferably drug-fueled) first person style.

kathy acker

what kind of face-pacing? long, short, square, stubbly?

>> No.3069650

Tough one, that.

The closest I can think of is Kathy Acker. She's not exactly explicit about the drug use, but it's pretty far out stuff.

Haven't read it, so I don't know for sure, but from what I've heard On the Road by Kerouac is similar. Fear and Loathing and On the Road deal with the same subject, at least

I think such an equivalent doesn't exist.
Women don't get attracted to self destruction and excessive drug consume, at least not in a literarily exploitable way.

You've obviously not gotten out much. One of the most destructive and drug fueled individuals I've ever met was a woman.
