Thompson's Documentary Form http://www.hallste.in/index.php?entryid=110 Gonzo, as this genre of writing is often called, is then thought characterized by its psychedelia: the subjective experience before the objective truth; the crazed, bizarre, often exaggerated interpretations; the confusion of fact and fiction.
