Volumes 1 and 2. Unpaginated. 11 cm. Volume 1 signed on cover by author. Softcover staplebound volumes. The text is Lacosta's reproduced handwriting throughout, which adds an extra level to the diaries' already gritty, authentic nature. Lightly worn around edges. Staples/binding still solid. Very light discoloration near page edges. These autobiographical diaries serve as a window into the life of Walter Lacosta during his time working as a bouncer in Toronto 1979-1980. Within the pages are his personal, raw, account of working as "The hired Muscle for a male strip-tease act." The author does not shy away from speaking his mind and describing the dancers, their friends, exploits and conquests in vivid and graphic detail. The diaries are filled with personal opinions, experience and observations, as well as sex, drugs, music and dance and told in often vulgar slur-filled language. A mature read not for the faint of heart.
