«Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories» is Sandra Cisneros's short story collection, published by Vintage in paperback (192 pages, in English).
The stories look into the lives of Mexican and Chicana women and girls on both sides of the border, with settings such as San Antonio and northern Mexico. Cisneros combines interior monologues, lyrical vignettes and everyday observation to speak about identity, cultural heritage, desire and female experience in a bicultural context.
This Vintage Contemporaries edition appeared in March 1992; the work had originally been published in hardcover in 1991 and was awarded the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award in 1993.
For readers of Chicana fiction and Hispanic literature, especially those interested in stories with female voices and the border experience.
Sandra Cisneros is an American writer. She is best known for her first novel, The House on Mango Street (1984), and her subsequent short story collection, Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories (1991). Her work includes experimentation with emerging subject positions, which Cisneros 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 Chicano literature.
