El Chino Paperback - 1996
by Allen Say
The true story of a Chinese boy who, on the advice of his father--"In America, you can be anything you want to be"--grows up to become a bullfighter. "Say fashions a first-person narrative into a resonant biography of an intriguing anomaly. . . .(Say's) portraits . . . are masterfully restrained, even as they suggest high drama".--Booklist, starred review. Full color.
Summary
A true story of Billy Wong, the first Chinese bullfighter.
First line
My parents came from Canton, China, and had six children in Nogales, Arizona.
