    Extractions: cuentas (and a few mentiras ) that together compose the story of the family of Lala Reyes. Cisneros brings to the novel the same terse style that distinguished her acclaimed novella, The House on Mango Street . With a little editing and some subtle changes, Caramelo could have been a classic almost on par with The House on Mango Street . As is, however, the novel falls painfully short. Caramelo Cisneros echoes some of her Latin American predecessors, recalling Borges in her narrators' altering of the truth and concluding the novel with a heavy dose of magical realism. She has trouble incorporating these styles into her narrative, however; the warping of reality is ineffectively executed and the stab at magical realism seems extraneous.

    Extractions: "I am a woman and I am a Latina," declares poet and novelist Sandra Cisneros, "Those are the things that make my writing distinctive. They are the things that give it sabor , the things that give it picante In her widely acclaimed The House on Mango Street, Cisneros chronicles an adolescent's coming of age in a hardscrabble Chicago neighborhood. The young girl struggles against the limited expectations society has for her and longs for the day she'll have her own home, a home that is far from Mango Street. Cisneros' latest book is the epic Carmelo , which follows several generations of the raucous and passionate Reyes family as they shuttle between Chicago and Mexico City. Carmelo explores the Reyes' tumultuous family history, including the legacy of "healthy lies" handed down through the generations. Sandra Cisneros' other works include

    Extractions: So Far From God parodies the family saga to decenter patriarchal biases inherent in the form; it further critiques individualism and constructs a new literary identity characterized by community. Like other family sagas, this novel chronicles Sofi's family over a long period of time, but this version deviates from the genre in a number of ways. Sofi's family is a rather untraditional family, one that displaces patriarchy and instead celebrates a matriarchal heritage. Sofi is head of the household, house owner, and provider for the family, while father Don Domingo is a gambler and mostly absent. Sofi and her daughters' lives form the center of the novel: Esperanza, the oldest, is a political activist and journalist; Caridad is a rural healing woman; Fe is a quester who longs for the American Dream, financial success, and romance; and Loca is a social misfit who cannot be contained by patriarchal ideology. Sofi comments on her family's difference: God gave me four daughters ... and you would have thought that by now I would be a content grandmother, sitting back and letting my daughters care for me, bringing me nothing but their babies on Sundays to rock on my lap! But no, not my hijitas [daughters]! I had to produce the kind of species that flies! (84)

    Extractions: Here are the Acapulco waters lapping just behind us, and here we are sitting on the lip of land and water. The little kids, Lolo and Memo, making devil horns behind each other's heads; the Awful Grandmother holding them even though she never held them in real life. Mother seated as far from her as politely possible; Toto slouched beside her. The big boys, Rafa, Ito, and Tikis, stand under the roof of Father's skinny arms. Aunty Light-Skin hugging Antonieta Araceli to her belly. Aunty shutting her eyes when the shutter clicks, as if she chooses not to remember the future, the house on Destiny Street sold, the move north to Monterrey.

    Extractions: University of Northern Colorado Here are some titles of poetry collections to consider when studying Southwest Women's Literature: Castillo, Ana MY FATHER WAS A TOLTEC AND SELECTED POEMS Cervantes, Lorna Dee FROM THE CABLES OF GENOCIDE: POEMS ON LOVE AND HUNGER ((C)1991, Arte Publico Press, 78 pages, $7 paperback, ISBN: 1-55885-033-3) AUTHOR: Jessica Hagedorn writes: "Lorna Dee Cervantes is a poet with a clear, strong voice who deserves a wider audience." NOTES: If Emplumada, Lorna Dee Cervantes' first celebrated collection of poetry, is the work of a poet on her way to becoming a major voice in American literature, "From The Cables of Genocide: Poems on Love and Hunger" will confirm her as one of the most talented and compelling poets writing today. Cervantes stretches the resources of language, imagery and the dialectics of love, hunger and aesthetics to express a penetrating feminist and human vision of her universe. Cisneros, Sandra

    CARAMELO sandra cisneros Vintage Books Fiction ISBN 0679742581. • Reading Group Guide. CARAMELO, the gorgeous new novel by sandra  
    http://www.bookreporter.com/reviews/0679742581.asp
    
    Extractions: CARAMELO, the gorgeous new novel by Sandra Cisneros, begins with a portrait taken on a summer trip to Acapulco, one of those spontaneous group shots offered by photographers who comb the beach to record memories, real or manufactured. All of the members of the Reyes family are there…all except for Lala, the youngest, forgotten a few yards away as she happily makes sandcastles. And so Lala spends the rest of the book painting a portrait of her own. It's impossible not to love an author who names her characters "the Awful Grandmother," "Aunty Light-Skin" and "Uncle Old." Cisneros's warm, wry humor has been on display since THE HOUSE ON MANGO STREET, and in her latest blended book (equal parts American and Mexican influence), she ensnares us again. This is Lala's story, first and foremost, but it's also the story of so many other things - of growing up in two cultures, of growing up in general, of family life and daily upheaval, of class and racial strife. The Reyes family travels south to Mexico City each summer to spend time with Inocencio's parents, his heavy-handed mother and henpecked father. Thirteen running, screaming kids caught between the Chicago culture of their daily lives and the Mexican roots of their parents. Three daughters-in-law left to stew in their own juices when mama's around. One hundred reasons why, we soon learn, everything is not OK.
