	Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo is the first novel by Oscar Zeta Acosta and it focuses on his own self-discovery in a fictionalized manner.
		An autobiography, the plot presents an alienated lawyer of Mexican descent, who works in an Oakland, California antipoverty agency, without any sense of purpose or identity.

	Oscar Zeta Acosta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His first novel, Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo, was published in 1972, followed in 1973 by The Revolt of the Cockroach People, a fictionalized version of the 1970 Chicano Moratorium.
		According to Thompson's obituary of Acosta "Fear and Loathing in the Graveyard of the Weird: The Banshee Screams for Buffalo Meat", Acosta was a powerful attorney and preacher but suffered from an addiction to amphetamines as well as a predilection for LSD-25.
		The obituary alternates from vitriolic to touching, but on the whole conveys the sense that Acosta was a man who felt he was doomed to martyrdom and destined to be a messiah, but was brought down by his inability to be either.

	Bohemian 2, Oscar Zeta Acosta
		His other book was "Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo." He also wrote some short stories, and is remembered mostly for one, "Perlaw is a Pig." Despite the thinness of his literary output, his legacy as the first and, so far, last great Chicano writer is without question.
		It is his identity as a Brown Buffalo, to a fl woman, wherein the concept of Black and Brown are Beautiful was made manifest.
		The brown buffalo had pawned his clarinet and camera for $15 and checked into a greasy hotel room in downtown El Paso where he removed the cockroach infested clothes from his lice-infested body.

	PBS - THE WEST - William F. Cody
		He is supposed to have won the name "Buffalo Bill" in an eight-hour shooting match with a hunter named William Comstock, presumably to determine which of the two Buffalo Bill’s deserved the title.
		Beginning in 1869, Buntline created a Buffalo Bill who ranked with Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone and Kit Carson in the popular imagination, and who was, like them, a mixture of incredible fact and romantic fiction.
		Though he was by this time almost wholly absorbed in his celebrity existence as Buffalo Bill, Cody still had a real-life reputation in the West, and in 1890 he was called back by the army once more during the Indian uprisings associated with the Ghost Dance.

		Early on, Acosta, as narrator and as author of an autobiography, informs us that his self-identification continually shifts along a spectrum of self-deprecating parody and mean-spirited antagonism with respect to racial identification.
		Throughout The Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo, few characters even recognize that Oscar plays his own racial identity game like a long-running, one-man in-joke, but upon meeting the fictional Oscar character, Hunter Thompson’s fictionalized self, "King," more than perceives the ironic sport, he spars with Oscar at it.

		For ethnic American writers, the genre of autobiography has assumed even greater significance as a means of countering the threat of silencing and erasure.
		In this course, we will examine the autobiographies of a number of twentieth-century American writers whose self-portraits have challenged, defied, and reshaped the notion of the “American” self.
		In our study of these works, we will investigate contemporary theories of autobiography, the formation of identity and subjectivity, and the role of gender in the making of the self.

		Whereas HST played with fantasy in social satire as a form of comic relief, OZA seems to want you to believe it to be fact...or at least for you to trust that he believed it.
		With that said, the story is one of the most self-deprecating, odd, and entertaining autobiographies I have ever read.
		As autobiography, one would do well to read this with some skepticism; Acosta makes himself into an icon of the 60s and 70s, and less a faithful recorder of that time.
