Publisher Description
A young man describes his life thru short stories and poetry. Guillermo Lanza is an atypical kid going through the trials and tribulations of growing up in Chicago's inner city. "Willie" attempts to figure out who he is in this concrete jungle known as Humboldt Park. In spite of the negativity and despair that constantly surrounds him, he has grandiose ideas of becoming more than what is, unfortunately, often expected. The riot of 1977 helps reinforce his need to excel. While in school, he discovers a love for writing and becomes the Puerto Rican William Shakespeare.
