Description:
In partnership with WTTW and other local PBS stations, PBS Books Heather-Marie Montilla is joined by Sandra Cisneros to discuss the release of the 40th Anniversary Edition of The House on Mango Street as the 2024 Library of Congress National Book Festival author featured this week by PBS Books.

“The House on Mango Street” is one of the most cherished novels of the last 50 years. Readers from all walks of life have fallen for the voice of Esperanza Cordero, growing up in Chicago and inventing for herself who and what she will become. “In English my name means hope,” she says. “In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting.”
