Burro Genio

Descriere: 6,De pie frente al p?blico, Victor Villase?or mir? al grupo de maestros sentados frente a ?l, y su mente se llen? de recuerdos de infancia llenos de humillaci?n y abuso por parte de sus profesores. Se sinti? enfurecer. Con el coraz?n en la mano, comenz? a hablar de esos abusos. Y cuando termin?, para su gran sorpresa, encontr? a todos los profesores de pie aplau-di?ndolo enf?ticamente. Muchas de las personas en el p?blico no lograban contener sus l?grimas. As? comienzan las conmovedoras y apasionadas memorias de Victor Villase?or. A pesar de ser muy talentoso e imaginativo desde muy ni?o, tuvo que vivir con una dificultad de aprendizaje (no fue sino hasta los 44 a?os de edad que fue diagnosticado con un caso grave de dislexia), y la frustraci?n de ser latino en una escuela americana en la que s?lo se hablaba ingl?s. A pesar de los profesores que lo maltrataban porque no pod?a hablar ingl?s, Villase?or se aferr? a su sue?o de un d?a convertirse en escritor. Hoy en d?a, es considerado uno de los autores m?s importantes de nuestra era.

Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant: A Memoir

9,This "vivid, moving, funny, and heartfelt" memoir tells the story of Curtis Chin's time growing up as a gay Chinese American kid in 1980's Detroit (Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers). Nineteen eighties Detroit was a volatile place to live, but above the fray stood a safe haven: Chung's Cantonese Cuisine, where anyone--from the city's first Black mayor to the local drag queens, from a big-time Hollywood star to elderly Jewish couples--could sit down for a warm, home-cooked meal. Here was where, beneath a bright-red awning and surrounded by his multigenerational family, filmmaker and activist Curtis Chin came of age; where he learned to embrace his identity as a gay ABC, or American-born Chinese; where he navigated the divided city's spiraling misfortunes; and where--between helpings of almond boneless chicken, sweet-and-sour pork, and some of his own, less-savory culinary concoctions--he realized just how much he had to offer to the world, to his beloved family, and to himself. Served up by the cofounder of the Asian American Writers' Workshop and structured around the very menu that graced the tables of Chung's, Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant is both a ...
