Hunter S. Thompson was the child of privilege, You should see where he grew up, in Cherokee, then and now the nicest part of Louisville.
Writers don't just happen: HST was already a well educated writer before he was expelled and joined the USAF.
He went from triumph to triumph, fired from everywhere, pretty much, a bit of a Zelig. He knew Henry Miller, another devotee of autobiographical excess.
The late 60s, early 70s were horrible - but of such is good biography made.
