Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo by Oscar Zeta Acosta

3.0

A set of recent drug adventures interspersed with more lucid episodes from the author's youth. I haven't read Cockroach People so it is difficult to gauge whether or not these tales provide the necessary background to understand Acosta's later involvement in the Chicano movement. It is too bad it is difficult to see Acosta except through one's preconceptions of him as HS Thompson's "Samoan" attorney.
