A Gypsy Good Time A Gypsy Good Time is a 1992" noir" detective novel by Viet Nam War veteran Gustav Hasford and the last novel he completed before his death in 1993, at forty-five years old. It is written in the style of classic hardboiled detective fiction and was poorly received by book critics at the time for making too much use of the cliches of the genre. "A Gypsy Good Time" never received the same critical recognition as Hasford's novels on Viet Nam, "The Short-Timers" (1979) and "The Phantom Blooper" (1990), and is relatively unknown even among the author's followers. The book is reportedly based on Hasford's disillusionment with Hollywood during the production of "Full Metal Jacket" (1987).
