Background on The House on Mango Street

Today we began looking at our first novella, The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. In her introduction to the 25-year anniversary publication, Cisneros included a poignant reflection on why she wrote her novel and what inspired her stories. We reviewed this intro in anticipation of reading Cisnero's vignettes for style and substance beginning next week. You all are going to LOVE this text!
