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.
