Descripción Una valiente colección de poemas nuevos, meditaciones descarnadas y a menudo humorísticas sobre la memoria, el deseo y la naturaleza esencial del amor abren un camino hacia la autoconciencia. Una extraordinaria historia contadaa través de una serie de relatos —a veces desgarradores, a veces profundamente alegres— es la historia de una niña latina que crece en un barrio de Chicago, inventando por sí misma en qué y en quién se convertirá. Una novela narrada en un lenguaje de una originalidad arrolladora: es la historia de varias generaciones de una familia méxicoamericana cuyas voces crean un des-lumbrante y vivo tapiz de humor y de pasión. Los personajes dibujados con amor de estas historias dan voz a la vibrante y variada vida a ambos lados de la frontera mexicana con relatos de puro descubrimiento, llenos de momentos de infinita e íntima sabiduría. En esta autobiografía rompecabezas, formada de ensayos e imágenes a través de tres décadas (algunas nunca antes publicadas) Cisneros ha llegado por fin a casa.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

A little girl revealing secrets as only a child can; a witch flies at dawn over a small town?these are just two of the scenarios presented by Cisneros in this collection of short stories. A writer of vivid imagination, with a very acute sense of mysticism and a witty poetic style, Cisneros not only entertains but leaves a lasting impression. A key work from a major Hispanic American writer; recommended for public libraries.?Jose M. Fornes

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book by Sandra Cisneros!
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2000
I highly recommend this book because it is another marvelous work by Sandra Cisneros. Like her other book, The House on Mango Street, it offers sad tales from the hearts of young girls and is an excellent insight on the unique prose style of Cisneros. Besides being enjoyable, the Spanish version may be helpful to those studying Spanish by working on translating, otherwise, this book is still a great classic that any fan of Sandra Cisneros should enjoy!
