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. Sciacca, Tom (illustratore).…

Thompson: "There's a wild theme in Steadman's drawings: decadence, corruption, immorality. Obscenity in its broadest sense is another hallmark of the things that shock him. I think he sees all of America as a mockery of what it should be. He probably thinks it was doomed from the start. He has that King-George-III notion of America. A bunch of crude upstarts --- couldn't make it work. He works best when you put him in a situation where he's bordering on flipping out. During one of the intermissions [at the Watergate hearings], Ralph leaped up with a beer in his hand and knocked [Senator] Sam Ervin off his feet. When he comes over here and gets involved in these horrible scenes, Steadman has a way of becoming part of the story." (1722RO007). …
