Este libro ofrece un retrato de uno de los personajes más controvertidos de la contracultura estadounidense de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. La vida y la obra de Frank Zappa se recogen aquí de la mano de Quim Casas, uno de los periodistas que mejor conocen el universo musical y humano de este personaje iconoclasta y vanguardista como pocos. En sus páginas se recogen hechos de su vida personal, su labor como líder de The Mothers of Invention, su papel en la escena californiana de los años sesenta, sus disputas y abandono de la industria musical y su labor como artista independiente, así como la influencia recibida de personajes tan dispares como Jimi Hendrix, Edgar Varèse o Pierre Boulez.
