Gonzo Girl A Novel

Inspired by her time as Hunter S. Thompson's assistant, Della Pietra's novel tells the story of Alley Russo, a recent college grad desperately trying to make it in the grueling world of New York publishing. Like so many who have come before her, she has no connections and has settled for an unpaid magazine internship while slinging drinks on Bleecker Street just to make ends meet. That's when she hears the infamous Walker Reade is looking for an assistant to replace the eight others who have recently quit. Hungry for a chance to get her manuscript onto the desk of an experienced editor, Alley jumps at the opportunity to help Reade finish his latest novel.
