The Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo by Oscar Zeta Acosta

challenging dark funny reflective medium-paced

2.0

I'm not sure I'm a fan of the Beat generation style of writing...maybe it's uptight of me but it's a bit crass for my tastes. I've never been more uncomfortable in a class discussion than when my professor made us talk about the passage when Oscar learns how to masturbate. Also, this may be a stretch but the prose reminds me of Rushdie actually. And all those passages when Oscar is super high make absolutely no sense and reminded me of how I felt reading The Clockwork Orange
