    Extractions: known as "Dr. Gonzo" in Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Acosta described his early adult years, during which he converted from Catholicism to become a Baptist preacher, but before long he rejected the Baptist faith specifically and Christianity as a whole. Although born into a Catholic family, Oscar "Zeta" Acosta apparently grew up in a family that was not active in Catholicism. While studying at the University of Southern California on a music scholarship, Acosta was dating an Anglo girl. In order to better be able to provide for her, as they were thining about marriage, Acosta joined the military. He joined the Air Force Band. But not long after that, she split up with him. This was a major trauma in his life. He decided that religion would provide the answers he was looking for. He began attending Catholic church regularly. Another member of the Air Force band he was in told Acosta about the Baptist, and he started attending a Baptist church near base. He attracted a lot of attention there, as he was quite a rarity: a Hispanic among whites, and a Catholic among Baptists. The young women there were fascinating by him and wanted to hear about his life as a "sinner." Acosta converted and became a Baptist preacher, starting out as a leader of the student or youth group. He was extremely enthusiastic about his new-found faith, and before long he had converted his entire family except his brother.

Abstract Frederick Luis Aldama's new book Postethnic Narrative Criticism argues that magical realism has become almost synonymous with Latin American fiction, but this way of representing the layered and often contradictory reality of the topsy-turvy, late-capitalist, globalizing world finds equally vivid expression in US multiethnic and British postcolonial literature and film. Writers and filmmakers such as Oscar "Zeta" Acosta, Ana Castillo, Julie Dash, Hanif Kureishi, and Salman Rushdie have made brilliant use of magical realism to articulate the trauma of dislocation and the legacies of colonialism that people of color experience in the postcolonial, multiethnic world. Aldama's book seeks to redeem and refine the theory of magical realism in US multiethnic and British postcolonial literature and film and also shatter the interpretive lens that traditionally confuses the transcription of the real world, where truth and falsity apply, with narrative fiction.

    Extractions: Greg Wright The Literary, Political, and Legal Strategies of Oscar Zeta Acosta and Hunter S. Thompson: Intertextuality, Ambiguity, and (Naturally) Fear and Loathing As Thompson formulates his rhetorical strategy, "politics—as used in journalism—[is] the art of controlling [one’s] environment ... In my case, using what politely might be called ‘advocacy journalism,’ I’ve used reporting as a weapon to affect political situations that bear down on my environment." Thompson’s comment focuses on his journalism, but even his sense of journalism goes beyond journalism. Caught within the confines of a stupefying, unbelievable America, his reportage flirts with fictionality almost as a defense mechanism, a (self)reflexive response to its unpleasantness. Is it true? Almost reluctantly, Thompson informs us: More or less ... and this qualifier is the essence of what, for no particular reason, I’ve decided to call Gonzo Journalism. It is a style of "reporting" based on William Faulkner’s idea that the best fiction is far more true than any kind of journalism—and the best journalists have always known this.

Here are the brazen games of 'chicken' Acosta played against the Anglo legal establishment; battles fought with bombs as well as writs; and a reluctant hero who faces danger not only from the police but from the vatos locos he champions. What emerges is at once an important political document of a genuine popular uprising and a revealing, hilarious, ... read more Note: This is a general synopsis.

    Extractions: utmSetVar('lit_all'); utmSetVar('salem_all'); Entire Site Literature Science History Business Soc. Sciences Health Arts College Journals Printable Version Download PDF Cite this Page Oscar “Zeta” Acosta’s first novel, The Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo , is a fictional journey through many facts of his life. His tale is vulgar, gross, obscene, frankly carnal, truly pained, wildly raucous, and funny in turns. Acosta’s anti-intellectual stance and his rejection of literary convention express the shock and chaos he invokes to undo his own assimilation, re-create his life, and construct for himself a new and revitalizing identity. Acosta declares his novel an autobiography to dramatize the powers of artistic transformation and re-creation that Chicanos can apply to their lives. One’s identity, like a novel, is a work of art. On Monday morning, July 1, 1967, Acosta is a lawyer with one year’s experience in an antipoverty agency in Oakland, California. Born in El Paso, Texas, and long a resident of California, Acosta feels increasing tensions between his Mexican ancestry and his personal and professional assimilation into mainstream American culture. He bursts with self-loathing; he sees himself as a little brown Mexican boy in a barrel-bellied, sweating, tormented wild Indian adult body. Crazed with tranquilizers, alcohol, and the bad food he uses to appease his ulcer, Acosta snaps when he discovers his secretary Pauline has died. He walks away from his work and his life.
