Ralph Steadman, the genius who, with Hunter Thompson, co-created Gonzo journalism, has written or illustrated (or written and illustrated) over 50 books, written lyrics for songs and an oratorio, insists that "geniuses are just losers who try harder." One of the great political and social satirists of our day, Steadman lets us in on the early failures that informed his life and led to his success. The interview is punctuated with examples of his often over-the-top artwork.
