Known unpublished works

This literature-related list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

Short Stories – Thompson wrote numerous short stories during the late 1950s and early 1960s, most of which were rejected by literary magazines at the time. Douglas Brinkley, Thompson's literary executor, told an interviewer that many of them are quite good, and that a collection is in the works.[4]
Prince Jellyfish – Thompson's first novel, written in the early 1960s. A short excerpt was printed in Songs of the Doomed.
The Joint Chiefs or The Death of the American Dream – Thompson's letters from 1968 mention a book on the death of the American dream that was never published because he wasn't satisfied with the manuscript, calling it "a pile of shit".[5]
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: Extra Chapters – Two chapters written for the book were not included in the final text. One has the "coconut smashing scene" that was shown in the film adaptation of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Brinkley told an interviewer that he did not understand why the chapters were cut, as they are extremely funny and fit very well with the rest of the book. (Rolling Stone may have cut them because of space, but that doesn't explain why they weren't in the book.) He said he hopes they will be released in the near future.[4]
The Gun Lobby – Brinkley describes the 250-page manuscript as "Fear and Loathing at the NRA". Thompson wrote the story for Esquire magazine, but the manuscript got shoved in a drawer for decades. Brinkley says he hopes to have it published soon.[6]
The Night Manager – A non-fiction novel about Thompson's time at the O'Farrell Theater strip club in San Francisco. Originally an assignment to write about "couples pornography" for Playboy.
Polo Is My Life – Thompson described this novel as "...a sex book — you know, sex, drugs and rock and roll. It's about the manager of a sex theater who's forced to leave and flee to the mountains. He falls in love and gets in even more trouble than he was in, in the sex theater in San Francisco".[7] It was slated to be released by Random House in 1999, and was even assigned ISBN 0-679-40694-8, but was never published.
