Description

Before his mysterious disappearance and probable death in 1971, Oscar Zeta Acosta used to be famous as a Robin Hood Chicano layer and notorious as the actual-life model for Hunter S. Thompson’s “Dr. Gonzo,” a fat, pugnacious attorney with a gargantuan appetite for food, drugs, and life at the edge.

Written with uninhibited candor and manic energy, this book is Acosta’s own account of coming of age as a Chicano within the psychedelic sixties, of taking on not possible cases even as breaking all tile rules of courtroom conduct, and of scrambling headlong looking for a personal and cultural identity. This can be a landmark of latest Hispanic-American literature, directly ribald, surreal, and unmistakably authentic.
