主要作品简介
《芒果街上的小屋》
主人公：埃斯佩朗莎 （西班牙语里的希望）
简介：生活在芝加哥拉美移民社区芒果街的女孩埃斯佩朗莎，生就对他人痛苦的同情心和对美的感觉力，她用清澈的眼打量周围的世界，用诗一样美丽稚嫩的语言讲述成长、讲述沧桑、讲述生命的美好与不易，讲述年轻的热望与梦想。梦想有一所自己的房子，梦想在写作中追寻自我，获得自由和帮助别人的能力。
作者的话：我写的不单是美国的事情，也是你们的。我肯定，在中国，也有这样一条芒果街，陌生人去到那里时，会感到一种“恐外”氛围。尤其，在我们今天生活的世界中，如此多的群体在相互交融：城市居民与乡村居民、中产者与贫民、男人与女人。我们每天都在跨越疆域，甚至不用离开自己的家就这样做了。

Sandra Cisneros (born December 20, 1954) is a Chicana writer. She is best known for her first novel The House on Mango Street (1983) and her subsequent short story collection Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories (1991). Her work experiments with literary forms and investigates emerging subject positions, which Cisneros herself attributes to growing up in a context of cultural hybridity and economic inequality that endowed her with unique stories to tell. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, was awarded one of 25 new Ford Foundation Art of Change fellowships in 2017, and is regarded as a key figure in Chicana literature.
Cisneros's early life provided many experiences she would later draw on as a writer: she grew up as the only daughter in a family of six brothers, which often made her feel isolated, and the constant migration of her family between Mexico and the United States instilled in her the sense of "always straddling two countries ... but not belonging to either culture." Cisneros's work deals with the formation of Chicana identity, exploring the challenges of being caught between Mexican and Anglo-American cultures, facing the misogynist attitudes present in both these cultures, and experiencing poverty. For her insightful social critique and powerful prose style, Cisneros has achieved recognition far beyond Chicano and Latino communities, to the extent that The House on Mango Street has been translated worldwide and is taught in U.S classrooms as a coming-of-age novel.
Cisneros has held a variety of professional positions, working as a teacher, a counselor, a college recruiter, a poet-in-the-schools, and an arts administrator, and has maintained a strong commitment to community and literary causes. In 1998 she established the Macondo Writers Workshop, which provides socially conscious workshops for writers, and in 2000 she founded the Alfredo Cisneros Del Moral Foundation, which awards talented writers connected to Texas. Cisneros currently resides in Mexico.
