Woman Hollering Creek: And Other Stories [B1146]

1992 HC perma-bound Vintage Contemporaries edition with some cover wear. A collection of stories by Sandra Cisneros, the celebrated bestselling author of The House on Mango Street and the winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. The lovingly drawn characters of these stories give voice to the vibrant and varied life on both sides of the Mexican border with tales of pure discovery, filled with moments of infinite and intimate wisdom.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "By the second vignette I knew this was going to be a five-star read. The entire collection is beautiful, but I found Cisneros' ability to write from the perspective of a child to be so convincing and so heartbreaking. What a perfect, devastating story collection!"; "Sandra Cisneros, queen of making my jaw drop purely through the way she describes things."; "This collection is a masterpiece... Cisneros's voice is incredibly distinct. Her descriptive detail strikes right into your consciousness. Her writing is visceral, and touches you on so many levels. It's hard to describe unless you just read it for yourself. As a creative writer, I can only say how inspired I am."; "If her short stories are this good . . maybe I should read her books asap."
