DESCRIPTION:A House of My Own: Stories from My Life is a non-fiction collection 
 spanning nearly three decades of Cisneros' remarkable life. She takes us 
 from the private (such as her parents' loving and tempestuous marriage) to 
 the political (a rallying cry for one woman's liberty in Sarajevo), to the 
 literary - a tribute to author Marguerite Duras.  From the Chicago 
 neighborhoods where she grew up and set her first groundbreaking novel to 
 her abode in Mexico, in a region where her ancestors lived for centuries, 
 Cisneros takers us on a delightfully intimate journey through the map of 
 her life.  As she declares in her introduction, "I'm ending my sixth 
 decade. A new cycle of life is opening and an old one closing. I'm in 
 between lives and in between houses, writing from the other side of the 
 U.S.-Mexican border...And with that, I wish to look backwards and forward 
 all at once."\n\n"A House of My Own is a charming, tender memoir" - 
 Kirkus\n\nCisneros is not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential 
 one"\n -The New York Times Book Review\n\nSanda Cisneros is the author of 
 two novels: The House on Mango Street, and Caramelo, plus a collection of 
 short stories, Woman Hollering Creek, two poetry books  (My Wicked Wicked 
 Ways and Loose Woman), a children's book  (Hairs/Pelitos), and a picture 
 book for adults, "Have You Seen Marie?"  In addition, she is the founder of 
 two organizations that serve writers - The Macondo Foundation and the 
 Alfredo Cisneros del Moral Foundation.  Among her many awards is the 
 MacArthur Fellowship.\n\nPresented by KPFA Radio 94.1FM\n\nHosted by Vylma 
 V, a Puerto Rican, an activist, human rights attorney and former public
