Jeff's review
The Revolt of the Cockroach People by Oscar Zeta Acosta
This is the second book written by Acosta, the real Chicano radical lawyer on which Hunter Thompson based the Samoan attorney in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and about whom Thompson wrote so eloquently in The Great Shark Hunt. Acosta was a mad genius writer and fighter for justice, and this is his continuing story, before he went underground and disappeared. Neglected masterpiece.
