A comprehensive volume on the life and work of renowned Chicana author Sandra Cisneros. Sandra Cisneros (b. 1954), author of the acclaimed novel The House on Mango Street and a recipient of the National Medal of the Arts, a MacArthur Genius Grant and the PEN/Nabokov Award for International Literature, was the first Chicana to be published by a major publishing house. Ay T! is the first book to offer a comprehensive, critical examination of her life and work as a whole. Edited by scholars Sonia Saldvar-Hull and Geneva M. Gano, this volume addresses themes that pervade Cisneross oeuvre, like romantic and erotic love, female friendship, sexual abuse and harassment, the exoticization of the racial and ethnic other, and the role of visual arts in the lives of everyday people. Essays draw extensively on the newly opened Cisneros Papers, housed in the Wittliff Collections at Texas State University, and the volume concludes with a new long-form interview with Cisneros by the award-winning journalist Macarena Hernndez. As these essays reveal, Cisneross success in the literary field was integrally connected to the emergent Chicana feminist movement and the rapidly expanding Chicanx literary field of the late twentieth century. This collection shows that Cisneros didnt achieve her groundbreaking successes in isolation and situates her as a vital Chicana feminist writer and artist.
