One of the first couple of essays is about her house in Greece, which I loved because as an architectural and material cultures researcher, that tickles my fancy in all of the right ways.
A HOUSE OF MY OWN SANDRA CISNEROS PDF SERIES
It’s a series of essays and lectures she has given throughout her life, and a lot of them are central to fellow literary and artistic figures in her life. This was a good book to dip my feet back into the world of Cisneros. I wanted to take some more Latin American based classes, but unfortunately I graduated a year early spontaneously and had to nix those plans. I just never really read anything by Chicano/a individuals throughout most of my schooling, including college. It’s actually tragic, because Cisneros is an important figure in American literary history, especially for Chicanas.
I read that in the ninth grade for my English class, and ever since then, I have not read a single piece of her essays, stories, poems, or novels. Like many other American youths, my first encounter with Sandra Cisneros’ work was her vignette series The House on Mango Street.
