By: Juan F. ThompsonHunter S. Thompson, “smart hillbilly,” boy of the South, born and bred in Louisville, Kentucky, son of an insurance salesman and a stay-at-home mom, public school-educated, jailed at seventeen on a bogus petty robbery charge, member of the U.S. Air Force (Airmen Second Class), copy boy for Time, writer for The National Observer, et cetera. From the outset he was the Wild Man of American journalism with a journalistic appetite that touched on subjects that drove his sense of justice and intrigue, from biker gangs and 1960s counterculture to presidential campaigns and psychedelic drugs. He lived larger than life and pulled it up around him in a mad effort to make it as electric, anger-ridden, and drug-fueled as possible.
Now Juan Thompson tells the story of his father and of their getting to know each other during their forty-one fraught years together. He writes of the many dark times, of how far they ricocheted away from each other, and of how they found their way back before it was too late.
He writes of growing up in an old farmhouse in a narrow mountain valley outside of Aspen—Woody Creek, Colorado, a ranching community with Hereford cattle and clover fields . . . of the presence of guns in the house, the boxes of ammo on the kitchen shelves behind the glass doors of the country cabinets, where others might have placed china and knickknacks . . . of climbing on the back of Hunter’s Bultaco Matador trail motorcycle as a young boy, and father and son roaring up the dirt road, trailing a cloud of dust . . . of being taken to bars in town as a small boy, Hunter holding court while Juan crawled around under the bar stools, picking up change and taking his found loot to Carl’s Pharmacy to buy Archie comic books . . . of going with his parents as a baby to a Ken Kesey/Hells Angels party with dozens of people wandering around the forest in various stages of undress, stoned on pot, tripping on LSD . . .
He writes of his growing fear of his father; of the arguments between his parents reaching frightening levels; and of his finally fighting back, trying to protect his mother as the state troopers are called in to separate father and son. And of the inevitable—of mother and son driving west in their Datsun to make a new home, a new life, away from Hunter; of Juan’s first taste of what “normal” could feel like . . .
We see Juan going to Concord Academy, a stranger in a strange land, coming from a school that was a log cabin in the middle of hay fields, Juan without manners or socialization . . . going on to college at Tufts; spending a crucial week with his father; Hunter asking for Juan’s opinion of his writing; and he writes of their dirt biking on a hilltop overlooking Woody Creek Valley, acting as if all the horrible things that had happened between them had never taken place, and of being there, together, side by side . . .
And finally, movingly, he writes of their long, slow pull toward reconciliation . . . of Juan’s marriage and the birth of his own son; of watching Hunter love his grandson and Juan’s coming to understand how Hunter loved him; of Hunter’s growing illness, and Juan’s becoming both son and father to his father . . .

Just what we needed
I am in love with this sunscreen. My daughter has very oily skin and she has tried many other susnscreens. All of them cause her skin to break out except this one. She loves putting g it on and even says it’s “kind of satisfying to put on because it disappears instantly”. It’s been working great and she hasn’t been getting sunburnt. I would definitely buy it again!!

Great sun protection for high elevation!
Excellent skin care product for those of us that spend lots of time outdoors in the mountains! My dermatologist recommended this product, and it definitely has been protecting my face while cycling, hiking, kayaking, and just hanging out in the sun!

Highly recommend.
I’ve been using Eucerin Sun Age Defense SPF 50 Face Sunscreen Lotion with Hyaluronic Acid daily for years, and it’s truly one of my holy grail products. It provides excellent sun protection while still feeling lightweight and comfortable on my skin—no heavy or greasy residue at all.
I love that it contains hyaluronic acid because it keeps my skin feeling hydrated throughout the day, not dry like some sunscreens can. It absorbs quickly, layers beautifully under makeup, and never causes breakouts or irritation.
After years of consistent use, I can honestly say it’s made a difference in keeping my skin looking healthy and protected. If you’re looking for a reliable, everyday facial sunscreen that also supports your skin, this is absolutely a 5-star product!

Such an amazing sunscreen!
This product gives such an amazing glow! There is no white cast, even on me a dark skin black girl. It soaks in on the skin, leaves no residue, and feels so lightweight. It’s so smoothing as well and makes your skin look so healthy. I love this sunscreen and will continue to buy if forever!
