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.
