ClassicNote on The House on Mango Street
Biography of Author Sandra Cisneros

Born December 20, 1954 in Chicago, Sandra Cisneros is an American novelist, short-story writer, essayist, and poet. Cisneros is one of the first Hispanic-American writers who has achieved commercial success. She is lauded by literary scholars and critics for works which help bring the perspective of Chicana (Mexican-American) women into the mainstream of literary feminism. Cisneros received her B.A. from Loyola University in 1976 and her M.F.A from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop in 1978. This workshop marks an important turning point in her career as a writer. Cisneros had periodically written poems and stories while growing up, but it was the frustrations she encountered at the Writer's Workshop that inspired Cisneros' realization that her experiences as a Latina woman were unique and outside the realm of dominant American culture. Thus, Cisneros decided to write about conflicts directly related to her upbringing, including divided cultural loyalties, feelings of alienation, and degradation associated with poverty. These specific cultural and social concerns, coupled with Cisneros' feelings of alienation as a Latina writer, came to life five years later in The House on Mango Street (1983). In addition to writing, Cisneros has taught at the Latino Youth Alternative High School in Chicago and has been a college recruiter and counselor for minority students at Loyala University of Chicago. She served as literature director for the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center in San Antonio, Texas, and was an artist in residence at the Foundation Michael Karolyi in Vence, France. She has been a guest professor at

Cisneros, Sandra His Story
Genre Poem Keywords Acculturation Family Relationships Freedom Individuality ... Rebellion Summary In this autobiographical poem, the poet describes with tongue-in-cheek her status in a Mexican-American family as seen from her father's point of view. It is clear from the outset that the father is unhappy with his only daughter's behavior. Unmarried, she has left home to make her own way while her six brothers remain at home. The father accounts for her behavior, and at the same time predicts its consequences, by recalling all the female relatives who ended badly: widowed, in jail, cursed by voodoo, alone. The most "audacious crime[s]" of all, however, is that of "disobeying fathers." Commentary Sandra Cisneros grew up in Chicago, the child of working class Mexican-American parents. She has decribed herself as a "Chicana feminist" and as "nobody's mother and nobody's wife." This poem is interesting to use in a discussion of feminism. It is also well suited for discussions of cultural diversity, together with poems written by authors representing other ethnic groups, such as

Interview with sandra cisneros, by Reed Dasenbrock R.D. So what does incorporating the Spanish explicitly change things? cisneros What it does is change the rhythm of my writing.
http://acunix.wheatoncollege.edu/rpearce/MultiC_Web/Authors/Sandra_Cisneros/body
Interview with Sandra Cisneros, by Reed Dasenbrock R.D.: So what does incorporating the Spanish explicitly change things?
Cisneros: What it does is change the rhythm of my writing. I think that incorporating the Spanish, for me, allows me to create new expressions in Englishto say things in English that have never been said before. And I get to do that by translating literally. I love calling stories by Spanish expressions. I called this story "Salvador Early." It's a nice title It means "sooner or later," tarde o temprano, which literally translates as late or early. All of a sudden something happens to the English, something really new is happening, a new spice is added to the English language.
R.D.: I noticed that one thing you do in the new stories is translate as you go along. You often give a phrase in Spanish and then quickly give maybe a third of it in English.
Cisneros: Sometimes.
R.D.: Not all of it.
Cisneros: No, I don't have to.
R.D.: What kinds of choices do you make there?
Cisneros: That's the fun part! See, sometimes you don't have to say the whole thing. Now I'm learning how you can say something in English so that you know the person is saying it in Spanish. I like that. You can say a phrase in Spanish, and you can choose to not translate e it, but you can make it understood through the context. "And then my abuelita called me a sin verguenza and cried because I am without shame," you see? Just in the sentence you can weave it in. To me it's really fun to be doing that, to me it's like I've uncovered this whole motherlode that I haven't tapped into. All the expresiones in Spanish when translated make English wonderful. I feel like I haven't finished playing around. I just feel so rich, as though you've given me all this new territory and said, "Okay, you can go in there and play."

Sandra Cisneros' Career Jane Juffer In the introduction to Alfred A. Knopf's 1994, ten-year anniversary reprinting of her House on Mango Street , Sandra Cisneros recalls what initially inspired the now internationally acclaimed novel. As a graduate student in the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop, Cisneros felt alienated by discussion of Gaston Bachelard's Poetics of Space . She says, "What was this guy talking about when he mentioned the familiar and comforting 'house of memory'? It was obvious he never had to clean one or pay the landlord rent for one like ours" (xiii-xiv). Cisneros' alienation gave rise to anger, which in turn prompted the writing of House on Mango Street ; the lyrical novel describing the life of a young Mexican-American girl growing up in a working-class Chicago neighborhood, much as Cisneros herself did. In an attempt to establish the difference of this kind of home from the one her fellow students remembered, Cisneros sought what she calls an "anti-academic voicea child's voice, a girl's voice, a poor girl's voice, a spoken voice, the voice of an American-Mexican" (xv). Ironically, this anti-academic novel has become widely acclaimed as a "literary masterpiece," beginning in 1985 when it won the Before Columbus Book Award. Furthermore, it has represented an important position in debates over multiculturalismthe ability to speak to specific cultural experiences and yet claim literary, even canonical, value. Since the late 1980s
