Books
by William McKeen

Aside from Highway 61 and Rock and Roll is Here to Stay, most of my other books were aimed at the academic market. There's a complete list below.

I still get a lot of inquiries about my Hunter Thompson book, even though it’s out of print. Sorry, I don’t have any extra copies to lend. There are a lot of Thompson biographies, but my little book tried to concern itself with his work and less with his personality. Maybe people like to crib from it when they write term papers. There’s still a link for it on Amazon, because sometimes it’s possible to find a used copy somewhere. I hope that my upcoming book on Thompson will do justice to his epic life.

The Literary Journalism anthology contains a lot of great articles and is intended for use in college classrooms. I think reading all of those great pieces is pretty darn inspiring.

The oldest book on this list, The American Story, is an anthology from the vaults of the Saturday Evening Post. It’s probably impossible to find now, but it was a fun book on which to work.

So here's the complete list, starting with the one that isn't quite finished yet.
