Based on the debut novel by Hunter S. Thompson
which initiated his long, distinguished and brilliantly
unpredictable career, "The Rum Diary" tells the increasingly
unhinged story of itinerant journalist Paul Kemp. Tiring of the
noise and madness of New York and the crushing conventions of late
Eisenhower-era America, Kemp travels to the pristine island of
Puerto Rico to write for a local San Juan newspaper, the San Juan
Star, run by downtrodden editor Lotterman. Adopting the
rum-soaked life of the late '50s version of Hemingway's "The Lost
Generation," Paul soon becomes increasingly obsessed with Chenault,
the wildly attractive Connecticut-born fiancée of Sanderson, a
businessman involved in shady property development deals.
