2010 Reading #32: The House on Mango Street

31. Blonde Faith by Walter Mosley.

32. The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. A novel, or a cycle of short-shorts, or a prose poem? I experienced it more as the last, but it could be any of those things. A meditation on childhood, poverty, race, and gender; sometimes giddy, sometimes heavy with tragedy. Small without being slight.

This book is pretty popular in middle/high school English classes. I enjoyed it, when I read it way back when. Julie Andrews
