Knopf, $24 (0-679-43554-9). The author’s long-awaited second novel (following The House on Mango Street, 1984) is a sweeping, fictionalized history of her Mexican American family. When Celaya (or “Lala”) Reyes takes a family vacation from Chicago to Mexico City, she begins a journey from girl to young adult and from the present to the past. Generous digressions trace roots and branches on the luxuriant family tree, telling the tales of ancestors, family members, and sometimes even walk-on players. The book’s title refers to an unfinished, candy-colored rebozo (shawl) that comes to symbolize both the interconnectedness of all these individual histories and the author’s act of weaving them together. Still, the focus is on Lala, her papá, and the Awful Grandmother, the last a truly wonderful literary creation— a despotic matriarch guaranteed to frighten young and old but whose wounds, once revealed, are a revelation. By book’s end, the different threads of these three lives are snugged into a tight knot. Cisneros combines a real respect for history with a playful sense of how lies often tell the greatest truths—the characters, narrator, and author all play fast and loose with the facts. But, Lala learns, the ability to write your own history also means you must take special care in choosing your fate. The author’s gorgeous prose, on-a-dime turns of phrase, and sumptuous scene-setting make this an unforgettable read. —Keir Graff

CONVERSATION: CISNEROS October 15, 2002 Ray Suarez speaks with writer Sandra Cisneros about her new book, Caramelo , which follows the tale of a Mexican-American family over multiple generations. RAY SUAREZ: The book is Caramelo , the author is Sandra Cisneros, an award-winning poet and writer. This is her second novel. It's the story of the three Reyes brothers, of a family, like many Mexican families, with members and memories made on both sides of the U.S. border. The story of family lore and tradition is told from the perspective of one of the grandchildren, the young Lala Reyes. Sandra Cisneros, welcome. SANDRA CISNEROS: Thank you. RAY SUAREZ: A lot of years went into this book. SANDRA CISNEROS: That's right. ( Laughs ) RAY SUAREZ: What, about nine, ten? SANDRA CISNEROS: Nine. Nine, yeah. RAY SUAREZ: And this is one family's history, but there's also a lot of Mexican history in there. SANDRA CISNEROS: Yeah. You know, I didn't think I was going to be writing a history book, I thought I was writing a story about my father, based on my father's life. But in telling my father's story, I had to place him in time and history, and then I had to go back and look at how he became who he was. So I had to invent my grandmother's story and how she became who she was, so next thing I knew, there was a lot of tributaries from my main story, and footnotes, chronologies, and things like that, that I didn't anticipate when I began.

HispanicOnline HISPANIC BackIssues HispanicTrends VISTA [ All ] Sandra Cisneros Her new book, her new look These days, Sandra Cisneros is relaxed when she walks through Breckenridge Park in San Antonio, her dog Violeta on a leash. She can talk at length about her new way of eating healthy, about the exercise program that has helped her get in the best shape since high school, and about her battles to convince town officials to let her keep her Victorian house in the King William section of this city a whimsical purple color. Much has happened to Cisneros since Mango Street was published. Trained as a poet, Cisneros worked as a teacher and college recruiter and spent her nights writing Mango Street. She never imagined the success the book would have. It has sold more than 2 million copies, making her the most widely read Latina author. Her book is frequently on the assigned reading lists for high school and college literature and other courses, and well read by young Latinos and others who hungered for stories they could relate to. The seminal work turned her, almost overnight, into someone everyone wanted to hear from, on all sorts of topics, from immigration to literature. She won a McArthur grant for geniuses. In 1991 she published Woman Hollering Creek, a book of short stories. But with the newfound success, her life came under more scrutiny. In 1997, her father died of cancer and other complications.

The Internet TESL Journal Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street: Experiencing Poetical Prose (Essay and Lesson Plan) Carole A. Poppleton cpopplet [at] mica.edu Maryland Institute, College of Art (Baltimore, MD, USA) What does it mean to have "lazy hair" or hair that "smells like bread?" How can a name be "muddy" or sound as if it were made out of "tin?" What do front porch steps "all lopsided and jutting like crooked teeth" look like? How can a pair of small black dogs "leap and somersault like an apostrophe and comma?" As English and ESL teachers we want to assist our international students with acquiring the skills to communicate effectively in their target language; however, we also realise that there is so much more to language mastery than the memorisation of vocabulary and sentence patterns or knowledge of grammar and punctuation rules. Most of us also want our students to be familiar with the beauty and power of English, with the possibilities of words and phrases to evoke emotions and create sensory impressions. By incorporating literature into the ESL classroom - poetry, drama, fiction- we can assist our L2 learners with the nuances and creativeness of their new language. In a recent college-level literature course I used Sandra Cisneros' book The House on Mango Street (Vintage Books, 1989). This class was comprised of twelve students (average TOEFL 550) representing five countries. Our special focus for this course was the term the "American Dream." Through a variety of readings and perspectives, we tried to come to a deeper understanding of this mercurial concept. Even though Cisneros' novel addresses pertinent issues of gender, race, ethnicity, and social class (general themes we were exploring in the course), it proved to be far more of a linguistic tool, helping my class to understand language on a variety of sensory levels. In this text we moved beyond what was being said (the story) to study carefully and to feel how it was being said (the style).

53. Sandra Cisneros Never Marry A Mexican Criticism Literary criticism a paper taking a historicalbiographical approach to sandra cisneros s short story Never Marry a Mexican. cisneros, sandra. http://www.literatureclassics.com/ancientpaths/never.html

Motivation in Cisneros's "Never Marry a Mexican" A Historical-Biographical Critical Approach 1999, Skylar Hamilton Burris Note: This is an academic exercise that takes a historical / biographical critical approach to Sandra Cisneros’s short story, "Never Marry a Mexican." This is not intended to be a well-developed critical paper, but it should prove a useful tool for examining one aspect In "Never Marry a Mexican," the narrator, Clemencia, admits that she is "vindictive and cruel" (68). But the critic must explain why. The critic also needs to address Clemencia's motivation for fleeing her middle-class home, because it is by no means clear that she was prohibited from living there. A look at Sandra Cisneros's own life and words can help elucidated both of these questions. Sandra Cisneros shares with her narrator a sort of "schizophrenia" that develops from "straddling two" cultures (Aranda 66). Clemencia, as a Mexican-American, witnesses her latino culture mixing with anglo culture, and she herself engages in miscegenation with Drew. She is motivated by a fear of anglicanization that expresses itself in her decision to move to the barrio and in her vindictive treatment of Drew's wife. The latino and anglo cultures mix when Clemencia's mother marries a white man. Clemencia reacts by fleeing from her home and attempting to cling to her latino culture. Sandra Cisneros describes her own hatred for the term "Hispanic" by declaring that it is an "upwardly mobile type word" (

54. Sandra Cisneros Woman Hollering Creek Literary criticism taking a formalist approach to sandra cisneros s short story Woman Hollering Creek. A Formalist Reading of sandra http://www.literatureclassics.com/ancientpaths/hollering.html

A Formalist Reading of Sandra Cisneros's "Woman Hollering Creek" 1999, Skylar Hamilton Burris Note: one aspect If a critic were to take into account external historical and social considerations when interpreting Sandra Cisneros's "Woman Hollering Creek," his initial natural prejudice might be to view the modern Untied States as a likelier place for a woman to find liberation from oppressive masculinity than Mexico. However, a formalist reading of "Woman Hollering Creek" reveals that, in this story at least, just the opposite is true. The United States town to which Cleófilas moves with her new husband casts a distorted mirror image of the town from whence she came. This juxtaposition in the setting, as well as the characters, symbols, and point of view, all combine to amass their weight toward one conclusion: life in the United States is less liberating for the Mexican woman than life in Mexico. That the United States town is steeped in masculinity to the exclusion of femininity is evidenced by the symbolism of the setting as well as by the characters. The town is North of Cleófilas's home town; it is upward (erect), implying masculinity. The primary character that takes an active part in Cleófilas's life, her husband, is masculine. Across the street is Maximiliano, so macho that he "was said to have killed his wife in an ice-house brawl" (51). There is no feminine identity for Cleófilas to relate to in her neighbors; Dolores is no longer a mother and Soledad is no longer a wife. Dolores's garden, rather than being tranquil and feminine, serves to reinforce masculine dominance; the "red red cockscombs, fringed and bleeding a thick menstrual color" (47) foreshadow the abuse that would soon leave Cleófilas's lip split open so that it "bled an orchid of blood" (47). The town has a city hall, an image of masculine rule, outside of which rests a large bronze pecan. In effect, it is a brass nut, an obviously masculine symbol for which the town possesses a "silly pride" (50).

Novelist and Poet Benaroya Hall, 7:30 p.m. Monday, October 27, 2003 Biography Excerpt Selected Works Links Underwritten by The Starbucks Foundation Biography Sandra Cisneros burst onto the literary scene in 1983 with the publication of The House on Mango Street. A series of vignettes told from the perspective of a young girl growing up in Chicago, the book has sold more than two million copies, distinguishing Cisneros as the most widely read Latina author in America. Born in 1954, Cisneros grew up in Chicago, the child of a Mexican father and a Chicana mother, and sister to six brothers. She was "Daddy’s princess," she says, and struggled against her father’s traditional vision for his daughter. Her latest novel, Caramelo (2002), began as a short story in which she set out to understand her father and his traditional views more fully. Over nine years, it became not only a way for Cisneros to recapture her own memories, but also a tome of Mexican and American history. The New York Review of Books describes her writing as "vivid… boisterous…playful…a delicious reminder that ‘American’ applies to plenty of territory beyond the borders of the United States."

Internationally acclaimed for her poetry and fiction, she has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Lannan Literary Award and the American Book Award, and of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the MacArthur Foundation. Her new novel, "Caramelo," is a multigenerational story of a Mexican-American family whose voices create a dazzling weave of humor, passion and poignancy. Lala Reyes' grandmother is descended from a family of renowned rebozo, or shawl, makers. The striped caramelo rebozo is the most beautiful of all, and the one that makes its way, like the family history it has come to represent, into Lala's possession. The novel opens with the Reyes' annual car trip a caravan overflowing with children, laughter and quarrels from Chicago to "the other side": Mexico City. It is there, each year, that Lala hears her family's stories, separating the truth from the "healthy lies" that have ricocheted from one generation to the next. We travel from the Mexico City that was the "Paris of the New World" to the music-filled streets of Chicago at the dawn of the Roaring '20s and, finally, to Lala's own difficult adolescence in the not-quite-promised land of San Antonio, Texas.
