Title: Gorgeous Book of Prose Poetry
Product review: "She thinks stories are about beauty," Cisernos writes of her author-self in the introduction to The House On Mango Street, and thus a book of beautiful stories begins. Set up as a series of vignettes about her life growing up living with her brothers and sisters on Mango Street, every story is an extended prose poem. The chapters are short, with each word carefully chosen to bring her world vividly to life. Not a single syllable is wasted. My favorite chapter is "A House Of My Own," where two tiny paragraphs express a longing so deep it is consuming. I highly recommend taking your time in savoring every word in this little book of beauty.
