Sandra Cisneros. Friends,. I know most of you would like to know a little about how I write and what inspired me to write the books you have read.

Extractions: Sandra Cisneros Friends, I know most of you would like to know a little about how I write and what inspired me to write the books you have read. I want you all to know I am busy working on several projects, including a book on how I teach writing, autobiographical essays that might answer all your questions and maybe a few you didn't even ask. This book is titled Writing in My Pajamas , and I don't know when I will finish it, but I do know I am a very slow writer, and I don't write at all on the days I wear shoes and comb my hair. In other words, I am a writer when I stay home, don't see anyone, don't talk too much (which for me is very hard), and am quiet enough to hear the things inside my heart. In the meantime, I want to answer the two questions I'm always asked: Is this story true? Are you the main character in the story? I mean that I write what I see, what's told to me that I feel very deeply, or what happened to me that I can't forget, but also what happened to others I love, or what strangers have told me happened to them, or what I read happened to others. I take all of this and cut and paste it together to make a story, because in real life a story doesn't have shape, and it's the writer that gives it a begining, a middle, and an end. Of course, I cannot borrow anyone else's story unless I have lived a similar emotion. That is why I say all the emotions in my work, good and bad, are autobiographical. Does that make sense? For how could I write about a broken heart if my own heart hadn't been parted in two like an apple?

She is also the author of Caramelo , published by Knopf in 2002. Much of her writing is influenced by her Mexican heritage. Sandra was the only daughter in her family of seven. Her Mexican father, Mexican-American mother, and her family moved through a series of run-down apartments in the poor neighborhoods of Chicago's South Side. While a teenager, her family realized her dream of purchasing a house, although she considered it old and ugly. This probably inspired much of her most famous novel The House on Mango Street. Her family frequently traveled between Mexico and the United States, inspiring elements of Caramelo.

Tambi©n es la autora de la novela Caramelo , publicada en el 2002 por Knopf. Su herencia mexicana es una influencia importante de su obra. Cisneros fue la tercera y ºnica mujer entre siete hermanos. Durante su ni±ez su familia se mud³ en una serie de departamentos en los pobres barrios populares del South Side (El Lado Sure±o) de Chicago. Cuando era joven, su familia logr³ una meta que se haba propuesto mucho tiempo atr¡s al comprar una casa, que ella consider³ fea y desbaratada. Es muy probable que este evento haya sido la inspiraci³n para La Casa en Mango Street. Su familia viajaba frecuentemente entre M©xico y los Estados Unidos , inspirando elementos de Caramelo. En 1976, Cisneros recibi³ su Bachillerato (BA) en la escritura del idioma ingl©s de la Universidad Loyola de Chicago. Se matricul³ en un programa de graduado en escrituras creativas del Taller de Escritura de la Universidad de Iowa y gan³ un ttulo de Masters en escritura creativa en 1978.

http://www.lectures.org/cisneros.html

Extractions: 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."

While Sandra Cisneros is not the only gifted creative writer living in San Antonio at the present, she has received the most attention, especially from publishers of literary texts. For example, at least four of her books have been published by major East Coast firms: The House on Mango Street (1983) by Vintage/Random House; Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories (1991) by Random House; a collection of poetry called Loose Woman (1994) by Knopf; and the novel Caramelo (2002), also by Knopf. In addition, the anthologies of American literature put together for college-level courses are more likely to include one or more selections from her work than from any other Latina writer.

Extractions: b. 1954 My mother says when I grow older my dusty hair will settle and my blouse will learn to stay clean, but I have decided not to grow up tame like the others who lay their necks on the threshold waiting for the ball and chain. In the movies there is always one with red red lips who is beautiful and cruel. She is the one who drives men crazy and laughs them all the way. Her power is her own. She will not give it away. Jump to: Biography and Criticism Selected Bibliography Non-English Materials Related Links Read am interview with Sandra Cisneros Sandra Cisneros did not have a "normal" childhood. "As a person growing up in a society where the class norm was superimposed on a television screen, I couldn't understand why our home wasn't all green lawns and white wood like the ones in `Leave It To Beaver' and 'Father Knows Best'" (Ghosts 72). She wanted desperately to believe that her poverty was just a temporary situation, so she looked toward stories to escape. There was a book called The Little House that she checked out of the library over and over again. The house in the story was her dream house because it was one house for one family, and it was permanent and stable. Cisneros' writing has been shaped by her experiences. Because of her unique background, Cisneros is very different from traditional American writers. She has something to say that they don't know about. She also has her own way of saying it. Her first book, The House on Mango Street, is an elegant literary piece, somewhere between fiction and poetry. She doesn't just make up characters, but writes about real people that she has encountered in her lifetime. Cisneros' work explores issues that are important to her: feminism, love, oppression, and religion. In "Ghosts and Voices: Writing From Obsession," she says, "If I were asked what it is I write about, I would have to say I write about those ghosts inside that haunt me, that will not let me sleep, of that which even memory does not like to mention."(73).

Extractions: Help Search: 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 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
