6:00 to 7:00 p.m. (PST)

The Chicano Alumni Book Club is hosting a review of Victor Villasenor's book "Burro Genius: A Memoir." Villasenor struggled with extreme dyslexia only to be diagnosed at the age of forty-four, but overcame that challenge and has written 5 best sellers. He describes how his dyslexia drew the ire of his teachers at the English-only American school in the 1940s. Despite teachers who beat him because he could not speak English, he has become one of the premier writers of our time.
