Summary: Hit & Miss
Review: Might be hard to call any of this a real "miss" because the selections themselves are so short they're overwith before you can come to dislike them.I've never read Cisneros before. I enjoyed her defending America as an American/Mexican more than a Mexican/American. She has a very clear determination to keep the difference distinguished. Her short-shorts were all very insightful, I think. The notion of creating a story within the confines of half a page can be daunting, yet, she manages it with relative ease. Of the short-shorts, "Spic-Spanish" and "Hair" had to be two of my favorites.
