a memoir by Luis leal, with Victor Fuentes

Leal recounts his experiences as a "child of the Mexican Revolution," recalling the entrance of Villa and Zapata into Mexico city; describes his life in Chicago from 1927 to 1943 and then in the Phillippines as a member of the American armed forces; and discusses his academic career and his contributions to Chicano literary criticism. The unusual format of a conversation between two old friends gives readers a taste of the tertulias that Don Luis Leal hosts, at which colleagues, friends, and students discuss literature, life and art, thus reviving the Hispanic tradition of the "literary circle." In Spanish.

Luis Leal is the author of 16 books and the recipient of numerous honors, including the Mexican Order of the Aztec Eagle, the highest honor granted to foreign citizens by the Mexican government. An emeritus professor at the University of Illinois, he now carries out research at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where a chair has also been established in his name.
