Oscar Zeta Acosta
À propos de cet audio
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 "Dr. Gonzo", a fat, pugnacious attorney with a gargantuan appetite for food, drugs, and life on the edge.
Authored with uninhibited candor and manic energy, this audiobook is Acosta's own account of coming of age as a Chicano in the psychedelic '60s, of taking on impossible cases while breaking all tile rules of courtroom conduct, and of scrambling headlong in search of a personal and cultural identity. It is a landmark of contemporary Hispanic American literature, at once ribald, surreal, and unmistakably authentic.
©1972 Oscar Zeta Acosta (P)2019 Random House AudioCe que les critiques en disent
"Immensely readable.... A Chicano Manchild in the Promised Land." (Publishers Weekly)
"Acosta has entered counterculture folklore. This is the life story of a man whose pain is made real, whose roots are in question, and whose society seems to be fragmenting around him." (Saturday Review of Literature)
"The most straightforward account of a Chicano's journey in search of a dream...." (The Los Angeles Times)

The story behind the story.
I really enjoyed hearing the story of what I always thought of as the “great mutant.” Reading Hunters version of this man in “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.” is very different than what you read here. Bought the book too and am going to try his other book.
Give it a try, it’s light and the story is well paced.
