A HOUSE OF MY OWN: STORIES FROM MY LIFE
Book ID/图书代码： 12560515B77416
English Summary/英文概要： From the author of The House on Mango Street, a richly illustrated compilation of true stories and nonfiction pieces that, taken together, form a jigsaw autobiography—an intimate album of a beloved literary legend.
From the Chicago neighborhoods where she grew up and set her groundbreaking The House on Mango Street to her abode in Mexico in a region where “my ancestors lived for centuries,” the places Sandra Cisneros has lived have provided inspiration for her now-classic works of fiction and poetry. But a house of her own, where she could truly take root, has eluded her. With this collection—spanning three decades, and including never-before-published work—Cisneros has come home at last.
Ranging from the private (her parents’ loving and tempestuous marriage) to the political (a rallying cry for one woman’s liberty in Sarajevo) to the literary (a tribute to Marguerite Duras), and written with her trademark lyricism, these signature pieces recall transformative memories as well as reveal her defining artistic and intellectual influences. Poignant, honest, deeply moving, this is an exuberant celebration of a life in writing lived to the fullest.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书的作者曾著有《芒果街上的小屋》，书中包含了一系列生动丰富的真实故事，作者人生旅程中的点滴，汇集成了这本错综复杂的自传——犹如一本文学传奇的温馨相册。
从她成长的芝加哥社区到墨西哥的短暂逗留，Sandra Cisneros所居住过的地方为其经典的小说和诗歌创作提供了灵感。然而，她自己的小屋，那个原本可以扎根的地方，却令她困惑不解。此系列作品历时三十年，包含了之前从未公开发表的著作。
书中涉及了她的私人生活（父母的爱情故事以及跌宕起伏的婚姻）、政治事件（萨拉热窝妇女自由的战斗口号）以及文学元素（向Marguerite Duras致敬）等等，语言抒情奔放，招牌式的写作风格唤起了深刻的记忆，也显示了她的艺术影响力。本书心酸、真诚、动人，热情洋溢，颂扬生命。（LYR）
