ONBC begins its discussion of Hunter S. Thompson’s THE RUM DIARY today!
One year ago, Johnny Depp was in Puerto Rico filming Bruce Robinson’s adaptation of The Rum Diary. Now Oprah Noodlemantra’s Book Club returns to the Hunter S. Thompson novel for a lively discussion getting underway today! Enhance your enjoyment of the upcoming film by exploring this favorite novel which fictionalizes HST’s experiences as a young, rebellious reporter in Puerto Rico in the late 1950s. ONBC moderators Liz and DeppintheHeartofTexas welcome you to join the discussion!
One highlight of every ONBC discussion is the banner Liz creates for the book–for The Rum Diary, she has combined vintage shots of Hunter and Johnny which highlight their resemblance. To see the banner, CLICK HERE. If you have never been to Puerto Rico, by all means take THE RUM DIARY TOUR designed by ONBC–it will make the locations come alive!
The Zone salutes Liz and DeppintheHeartofTexas for their hard work and creativity. We’re looking forward to The Rum Diary discussion!
