Soft Cover. Condición: Fine. 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. Sciacca, Tom (ilustrador).…

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). …
