Oct 28, 2015 | ALOUD @ Central Library
Presented by the Library Foundation of Los Angeles
Sandra Cisneros reads a short exceprt from her new memoir, A HOUSE OF MY OWN.
In her memoir, the award-winning novelist, poet, and beloved author of THE HOUSE ON MANGO STREET shares over three decades of true stories, essays, talks, and poems to offer a richly illustrated compilation of her storied life and career. Opening doors onto the Chicago neighborhoods where she grew up, her abode in Mexico haunted by her ancestors, a Greek white-washed island, a borrowed guest room, her purple house in San Antonio, and more, Cisneros sheds light on the real and imagined places that inspired her writing even as she struggled to define her own idea of home. Reflecting on the private journey of a life in writing, ALOUD welcomed Cisneros to the stage for a reading and conversation on October 28, 2015.
This program was presented as a bilingual program. Interpretation between Spanish and English was provided by Antena Los Ángeles.
