Annotation:
The Mexican-American writer Victor Villaseñor writes about his childhood and youth, growing up in the 1940s on a ranch in Southern California. Afflicted with dyslexia, he also--despite his family's relative wealth--endured discrimination and cruelty as a Latino in a white world. He ended his school days with a deep reservoir of anger at the teachers who allowed him to suffer, but also with the passionate desire to become a writer, and to use with artistry the language he was sometimes beaten for not knowing.
