THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14th at 1:30-3:00pm EVENT IN THE FORUM: Born in the barrio of Carlsbad, California in 1940, Victor Villaseñor was primarily raised by his Yaqui Native American grandmother alongside the alley behind his father’s poolhall until the age of four.
With burning passion Victor wrote for 10 years producing nine novels, 65 short stories, and receiving 265 rejections before selling his first novel, Macho! The Los Angeles Times compared it to the best of Steinbeck. This began a journey that would eventually lead to the publication of the bestseller, Rain of Gold.
