Savage Journey is a "supremely crafted" study of Hunter S. Thompson's literary formation and achievement. Focusing on Thompson's influences, development, and unique model of authorship, Savage Journey argues that his literary formation was largely a San Francisco story.

Author Peter Richardson traces Thompson's transition during this time from New Journalist to cofounder of Gonzo journalism.
