內容簡介
Immensely readable...A Chicano Manchild in the PromisedLand."
-- Publishers Weekly
Before his mysterious disappearance and probable death in 1971,Oscar Zeta Acosta was famous as a Robin Hood Chicano layer andnotorious as the real-life model for Hunter S. Thompson's "Dr.Gonzo," a fat, pugnacious attorney with a gargantuan appetite forfood, drugs, and life on the edge.
Written with uninhibited candor and manic energy, this book isAcosta's own account of coming of age as a Chicano in thepsychedelic sixties, of taking on impossible cases while breakingall tile rules of courtroom conduct, and of scrambling headlong insearch of a personal and cultural identity. It is a landmark ofcontemporary Hispanic-American literature, at once ribald, surreal,and unmistakably authentic.
"Acosta has entered counterculture folklore. This is the lifestory of a man whose pain is made real, whose roots are inquestion, and whose society seems to be fragmenting aroundhim."
-- Saturday Review of Literature.
