Una casa propia / A House of My Own Historias de mi vida
Desde Chicago a México, los lugares en los que Sandra Cisneros ha vivido han servido de inspiración para sus trabajos ya clásicos de ficción y poesía. Sin embargo, una casa propia, un lugar en el que realmente pueda echar raíces, la ha eludido. En esta autobiografía rompecabezas, formada de ensayos e imágenes a través de tres décadas (algunas nunca antes publicadas) Cisneros ha llegado por fin a casa.
Escrito con su muy conocido lirismo, la autora de La casa en Mango Street, y ganadora del PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature 2019, comparte los recuerdos que la han transformado y revela sus influencias artísticas e intelectuales. Punzante, honesta y profundamente conmovedora, Una casa propia es una celebración exuberante de una vida vivida al máximo, por una de nuestras escritoras más queridas.
