I will unpack my head. I will step back outside. One day I may even make love again. But one thing at a time. Lets not get ahead of ourselves.\" Film mogul  aviator  addict  inventor  visionary  recluse  serial womanizer  political meddler: Howard Hughes was one of the strangest and most significant figures of the twentieth century. His obsessive-compulsive disorder would end up crippling and isolating him; in the end he self-medicated his way into oblivion. Its a summer night in 1973  and holed up in his hotel penthouse in London  Hughes cant sleep. Tomorrow he takes control of an airplane for the first time in more than fifteen years. As the reclusive  drug-addled billionaire waits for dawn  the shape and preoccupations of the times emerge from his ruined psyche; a world of oil  flight  money  movies  drugs  sex  power  greed  fear  and yearning for America. Blackly funny  muscular and rhythmic  transcendent and debauched  God of Speed is a fever dream  a giant and extraordinary leap of the imagination into the fractured mind of a man who was both great and greatly fallen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45655652728885,"sku":"ByrdShop_1940207274","price":68.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781940207278.jpg?v=1781937565","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/god-of-speed-9781940207278","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
