“Juan rebelled against his famously rebellious father by becoming normal,” wrote Vanity Fair’s Leslie Pariseau in a 2016 interview, where Thompson spoke about why he wanted to write this book. “I wanted to show people that there was a lot more to Hunter than a character. That was really important to me…I felt strongly about it, and the way it evolved was to describe how I got to know him through our relationship…I think he would have been proud that I tried to be honest and didn’t cover up a lot of the unsavory stuff…And Hunter doesn’t come out looking like a monster.”.
