Woman Hollering Creek : And Other Stories

Rating:
Summary: a very fine and fiery collection....
Review: ....from the famous Loose Woman of Literature. I particularly enjoyed her use of the Llorona theme in the title story; Chicana writers have done wonders with the Weeping Woman and Cisneros uses the legend to illuminate the tribulations of flesh-and-blood Latinas who fall within its shadow.

Summary: Bello.....incredibly beautiful
Review: A beautiful window into the lives of Hispanic/American women; their suffering, joy, capacity to love and survive. These stories speak to all women, not just the Hispanice community. Cisnero's use of language is as delicious as the juice of a ripe peach. Slurp it in.

Summary: An Exloration of Womanhood
Review: Cisneros brilliantly explores the longings of girls and women in this deeply compassionate work. Each story gives the reader an opportunity to explore her experience of womanhood as well as insight into the experiences we all share. Her poetic and richly flavorful style reads like a song. -Kaya McLaren, author of Church of the Dog

Summary: A politically savvy look at Latino culture in America.
Review: Cisneros does not pull any punches and thankfully does not dwell in cliche. She presents the battles a young Latina fights with the idea of American beauty, Machismo, and life in general. Her book is for those who think. This is will not suit the "no-brainer" reader.

Summary: Great libro
Review: Este libro is something that I could personally relate to. Me gusto como mensionaba las telenovelas, los artists latinos, the saints and religion, y todo de la vida Mexicana. Even though the book got a bit disturbing and graphic at times, es unos de los mejores libros que e leido. Sandra Cisneros ase un gran trabajo in this book, it is so much fun to read y dificil to put down. Se lo recomiendo a todo mundo! Tan tan!

Summary: You Go Girl!
Review: Great Book! Entertaining as well as informative. It made me want to explore the Hispanic culture, sing praises to the strength of women and find true love. This is a wonderful creation, but who would expect anything less from Cisneros.
