An Undisciplined Man

"I don't consider myself some kind of polymath. Nor am I a modern-day Renaissance man, which is an oxymoron if I ever heard one. I'm just a man who works hard and is curious about a lot of things." Dante Fuentes de la CruzFrom his earliest years, Dante Fuentes' life was shaped by what one of his admirers called "the Dante Effect." People weren't just drawn to him; they went out of their way to ensure his success. Important art critics, poets and dramatists, acclaimed artists, not to mention his musical contemporaries--all smoothed his path.All this changed when a military coup brought violence and censorship to Argentina. One by one, his friends and colleagues either fled or faced imprisonment and death if they didn't stay silent. No family was spared--not even his. Dante knew only one remedy for heartbreak--work harder and longer. His diverse body of work eventually attracted the attention of a beautiful Canadian neuropsychologist interested in multi-dimensional thinking. Everyone around Dante soon wondered. Would he allow this stranger access to his mind and body?
