Sandra Cisneros Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

A brave collection of poems from Sandra Cisneros, the best-selling author of The House on Mango Street. It has been twenty-eight years since Sandra Cisneros published her last book of poetry. With dozens of never-before-seen poems, Woman Without Shame is a moving collection of songs, elegies, and declarations that chronicle her pilgrimage toward rebirth and the recognition of her prerogative as a woman artist. These bluntly honest and often humorous meditations on memory, desire, and the essential nature of love blaze a path toward self-awareness. For Cisneros, Woman Without Shame is the culmination of her search for home—in the Mexico of her ancestors and in her own heart.

Als junge Frau verlässt Corina ihre mexikanische Familie in Chicago, um in den Pariser Cafés ihren Traum zu verfolgen, Schriftstellerin zu werden. Stattdessen schlägt sie sich in der ville lumière mit Geldsorgen herum oder steht mit anderen Einwanderern in der Schlange, um von einem kaputten Münztelefon aus nach Hause zu telefonieren. Dennoch: Die Monate, in denen sie sich mit bettelnden Straßenkünstlern in der Métro anfreundet, in einer Mansarde, klein wie eine Besenkammer, oder auf überfüllten Fußböden schläft und auf illegalen Partys Tango tanzt, erhalten durch ihre intensiven Freundschaften mit Martita und Paola einen dauerhaften Glanz. Im Laufe der Jahre verstreuen sich die drei Frauen auf drei Kontinente, verlieren sich aus den Augen und aus dem Sinn – bis ein wiederentdeckter Brief die Tage in Paris mit atemberaubender Unmittelbarkeit zurückbringt.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Every year, Ceyala “Lala” Reyes' family—aunts, uncles, mothers, fathers, and Lala's six older brothers—packs up three cars and, in a wild ride, drive from Chicago to the Little Grandfather and Awful Grandmother's house in Mexico City for the summer. From the celebrated bestselling author of The House on Mango Street and winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. Struggling to find a voice above the boom of her brothers and to understand her place on this side of the border and that, Lala is a shrewd observer of family life. But when she starts telling the Awful Grandmother's life story, seeking clues to how she got to be so awful, grandmother accuses Lala of exaggerating. Soon, a multigenerational family narrative turns into a whirlwind exploration of storytelling, lies, and life. Like the cherished rebozo, or shawl, that has been passed down through generations of Reyes women, Caramelo is alive with the vibrations of history, family, and love. From the winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature.
