Book Overview
Vintage Readers are a perfect introduction to some of the great modern writers: The celebrated bestselling author of The House on Mango Street "knows both that the heart can be broken and that it can rise and soar like a bird. Whatever story she chooses to tell, we should be listening for a long time to come (The Washington Post Book World). A winner of the PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature and the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship, Sandra Cisneros evokes working-class Latino experience with an irresistible mix of realism and lyrical exuberance. Vintage Cisneros features an excerpt from her bestselling novel The House on Mango Street, which has become a favorite in school classrooms across the country. Also included are a chapter from her novel, Caramelo; a generous selection of poems from My Wicked Wicked Ways and Loose Woman; and seven stories from her award-winning collection Woman Hollering Creek.

Inclusive Overview
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Vintage Cisneros is a wonderful introduction to a complex and insightful author. Themes of personal and cultural identity and self-awareness are prominent and resplendent in their treatments. I only wish that more of her poetry were included. Overall, though, a beautiful compilation!
