Book Description

Told in a series of vibrant vignettes, The House on Mango Street is the story of Esperanza Cordera, a young girl growing up in the Hispanic quarter of Chicago. For Esperanza, Mango Street is a desolate landscape of concrete and run-down tenements where she discovers the hard realities of life - the fetters of class and gender, the spectre of racial enmity and the mysteries of sexuality. Capturing her thoughts and emotions in poems and stories, Esperanza is able to rise above hopelessness and create for herself "a house all of my own quiet as snow, a space for myself to go" in the midst of her oppressive surroundings. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

《芒果街上的小屋》，近期在豆瓣网上备受追捧的一本小说.拿到手时已是一个月内第二次印刷的版本。倒不是为了追风，实在是禁不住陆谷孙先生的序和黄梅、沈胜衣、张悦然等我了解一二的学者或作家的书评。 　　昨天从单位加班回家，静心凝神，开始翻开这本芒果色书皮的小说。没...
