Description:Hunter often said Harrell was the best copy editor he'd ever worked with" (William McKeen, Outlaw Journalist). But what was the rest of the story?Keep This Quiet captures the fear and loathing, charm and romance of Hunter in the late Sixtiesalong with tales of two other underground authors. Included are genuine, funny letters he sent Margaret during and after the publication of Hell's Angels. Also, priceless reminiscences of some of Hunter's oldest friends: William Kennedy, David Pierce, Rosalie Sorrels, and editor Jim Silbermancovered in no other account. Featured in addition are "poète maudit" Jan Mensaert and Greenwich Village "poet genius" Milton Klonsky.REVIEWS“Margaret Harrell’s Keep This Quiet offers an illuminating look at Hunter S. Thompson in full throttle trying to make it as a Top Notch prose-stylist. Harrell fills in many important biographical gaps. A welcome addition to what is becoming the HST cottage industry. Read it”—Douglas Brinkley, editor of The Proud Highway and Fear and Loathing in America “If you want to know what the Sixties were really like, read Keep This Quiet: A Memoir. It’s all there: the openness, the hope, the ideals, the risks, the highs and lows, the travel, the love”—Robert Morgan, author of Gap Creek and Terroir“Three men, embodiments of three different dimensions of the late 1960’s Zeitgeist—wispy dissolution, language-charged intellect, and Gonzo persona-building—are brought together by Harrell to invoke a world of passion and commitment . . . While most readers will come to this book for the Thompson content, in truth all the portraits here—all four of them—are compelling and often touching” —W. C. Bamberger, Rain Taxi Review of Books“While the job at Random House did offer her the opportunity to meet a lot of writers and famous people, it is Hunter that became her secret office romance. . . . Every person in the book is bold and well defined”—San Francisco Book Review “Keep This Quiet! is a moving read and much recommended to any literary studies or memoir collection”—Midwest Book Review“The reader comes to feel an affinity with the trio of writers in their attempts to achieve their iconoclastic visions of success, glimpsing them as individuals beyond their work, seeing how they think. . . . Memoir will likely please Hunter S. Thompson fans and appeal to readers with an interest in the beginnings of the post-modern era or the personal sacrifices involved in bringing serious written work to fruition”—Kirkus Indie Reviews “This book is a joy to read, particularly for anyone that has that urge to express themselves through the creative arts in all their forms. In terms of its importance to the Hunter S. Thompson world I would have to say that there are not many other books out there that have the same intimate understanding of the man behind the myth.”—Rory Feehan, owner of http://totallygonzo.org/“Thompson loved Harrell's work as the line editor on Hell's Angels and she here details the nature of their relationship”—William McKeen, Literary Journalism Studies“Keep This Quiet? Not likely. Margaret Harrell’s Keep This Quiet! is a feast for the Gonzo soul. It’s all new and a valuable addition to my collection and strangely enough it makes a great companion to McKeen’s Outlaw Journalist. It has been a while since I have learned new stuff about Hunter Thompson. I feel refreshed. . . . Highly recommended”—Martin Flynn, owner of http://hstbooks.org“Readers will be privy to never-before-published letters from Hunter Thompson, deepening insight into the turning point in his career and emergence into gonzo”—Bernie Nelson, owner of The Mindquest Review“Harrell’s writing is crisp and easy to follow. I found it nearly impossible to put the book down”—Rachel Escobar “Harrell beautifully tells the story of how her relationships with the three men, predominantly Thompson, progressed, sharing intimate moments and keeping the reader turning the page”—Portland Book Review“Keep this Quiet is a riveting, soul-baring honest look into Margaret Harrell and the inner workings of one of the world’s greatest writers”—Nick Storm, Storm Generation Films“Keep This Quiet! a memoir: My Relationship with Hunter S. Thompson, Milton Klonsky, and Jan Mensaert by Margaret A. Harrell is a masterpiece! I never expected to say that about a memoir”—Ron Whitehead, outlaw poet, author of Tapping My Own Phone and The Storm Generation Manifesto Brief Author BioThe author of eight books in the Love in Transition: Voyage of Ulysses—Letters to Penelope nonfiction series, including Toward a Philosophy of Perception, Harrell copy edited Hunter Thompson’s first book, Hell’s Angels.
