Even his most famous novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas has a feeling of multiple long spurts on a typewriter. He obviously had some sort of ADD and later on combined with a long series of drug/alcohol addictions, so it makes sense he was better in short blurbs. HST was always great in small rapid outputs of writing, which is captured well in his letters (similar to how his collection of articles are his most popular works, but these deserve a similar look). This was explained by HST in one of his letters, which was collected in the excellent three book collection of letters he sent and received to his friends.
