Paperback. Condition: OKAZ. Rongé par les ulcères, abruti par dix ans de thérapie, incapable de trouver sa place dans un pays qui rejette ses enfants basané s, Oscar Acosta plante son boulot d'avocat à l'aide sociale le 1er juillet 1967. Il quitte San Francisco et file sur les routes de l'Ouest américain. C'est le récit, quasiment initiatique, de cette journée- clé et de l'errance qui s'ensuit que retrace Acosta dans ce premier roman. Il évoque son enfance dans un bled de Californie, l'absence du père parti pour combattre les Japonais en 1941, la violence quotidienne que subissent les siens, rejetés par les Blancs comme par les "vrais" Mexicains immigrés. Mais aussi son obésité qui le répugne, la découverte du sexe, de l'alcool et des drogues. Toutes ces blessures et ces obsessions qui nourriront son oeuvre, littéraire comme politique : la discrimination raciale et la recherche de l'identité, individuelle et collective.Marqué par le gonzo journalisme de son ami Hunter S. Thompson et la contre-culture ambiante, Oscar Acosta signe un roman foisonnant, brut, traversé par un humour décapant. A travers son autoportrait tour à tour grotesque, lâche, agaçant, amusant ou attachant, le Bison californien esquisse un tableau plein d'ironie du pays qu'il aime et déteste à la fois. - Nombre de page(s) : 314 - Poids : 345g - Langue : ANGLAIS (ETATS-UNIS) - Genre : Littérature Anglo-Saxonne.

Sobre todo si el muy bastardo ya hace seis meses que cumplió los 33, va hasta el culo de ácido, luce una Magnum 357 cargada en su cinturón y cuenta en todo momento con un guardaespaldas chicano que maneja un hacha.» HUNTER S.

Soft Cover. Condition: Fine. Sciacca, Tom (illustrator). First Edition Thus. Tenth printing. Import from Infinity Books of Tokyo, Japan. First published in 1972 by Straight Arrow Books. Glossy pictorial wraps, light shelf wear. Mescalinish dreamy montage cover illustration by Tom Sciacca. Pages fine. Bind fine. With a new introduction for this 1989 edition by Hunter Thompson and afterword by Acosta's son Marco. Before his mysterious disappearance and probable death in 1971, Oscar Zeta Acosta was famous as a Robin Hood Chicano lawyer and notorious as the real-life model for Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing "Dr. Gonzo," a fat, pugnacious attorney with a gargantuan appetite for food, drugs, and life on the edge. Written with uninhibited candor and manic energy, this book is Acosta's own account of coming of age as a Chicano in the psychedelic sixties, of taking on impossible cases while breaking all the rules of courtroom conduct, and scrambling headlong in search of a personal and cultural identity. A landmark of contemporary literature, at once ribald, surreal, and unmistakably authentic. 204 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.

Wraps. Condition: Near fine. The sixth issue of this important Chicano literary magazine, with three letters from Oscar "Zeta" Acosta, a Mexican-American lawyer who was immortalized as the heavyweight Samoan attorney, Dr. Gonzo, in Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1971). He also authored the novels Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo (1972) and The Revolt of the Cockroach People (1973) before his disappearance in 1974 during a trip to Mexico. In the first of the three letters, Acosta confesses his embarrassing fascination with light-skinned women: "We know perfectly well that these colorless broads have not the blood of our mothers and sisters or even your cousin who is of la familia de raza which we struggle to place in history by the colorful designs of our own brown ancestors .But yet, it has not been you, mujer de Aztlan. Unfortunately, it has not yet been you!" The second letter relates his troubles as a lawyer working unpaid for the cause, while the third concerns the trial of Catolicos Por La Paz, a group arrested for disturbing a Christmas Eve mass. Con Safos lasted eight issues. In addition to the Acosta piece, this issue includes the essay "Police State" by Gilbert Gonzalez, two poems by Maria Rocha, a cartoon by Sergio Hernandez, a book review of Stan Steiner's La Raza: The Mexican Americans (1970), social commentary on Chicano pop art, and a Con Safos glossary. Standard magazine format (8 ¼" x 10 ½"): [52] p. including the wrappers. Original pictorial paper wrappers, bound with two staples. Near fine.
