sandra cisneros: summer reading list

"Sandra Cisneros is tackling an entire library of books this summer as she looks forward to the Macondo writers workshops. A short list includes Lorraine López's 'The Realm of Hungry Spirits' ('she's just a terrific writer'), Valley poet José Antonio Rodríguez's 'The Shallow End of Sleep,' Ernest J. Gaines' 'The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman' ('we should teach history to kids with books like this one'), Manuel Muñoz's 'What You See in the Dark' ('delicious') and Jessica Hagedorn's 'Toxicology,' which is on her bedside keeping company with Edwidge Danticat's 'Create Dangerously.'
