Prince Jellyfish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prince Jellyfish is an unpublished novel by American journalist and author Hunter S. Thompson.
Prince Jellyfish is Thompson's first novel and was written in the early 1960's while Thompson was working as a reporter for the Middletown Daily Record in New York State. The book was rejected by a number of literary agents before Thompson moved on to writing his next novel The Rum Diary. The Rum Diary too remained unpublished until 1998, long after Thompson had become famous.
In Thompson's obituary, The Guardian described it as "an autobiographical novel about a boy from Louisville, going to the big city and struggling against the dunces to make his way." [1]
