Baru sempet review setelah sehian purnama huhu.

Aku suka buku ini. Ini kumpulan cerita pendek gitu ceritanya. Ada banyak karakter dengan berbagai backround dan problematika hidup masing-masing yang secara garis besar adalah problematika kehidupan masyarakat di pemukiman slump (?).

Buku ini tuh gambaran naratif dari berbagai case rantai masalah kemiskinan struktural. Membaca ini 30% hangat, 70% panas. Pengen ngamuk, tapi ya sedih, tapi ya gimana lagi.

This book made me realize that some of us have it worse off than others. It made me smile and laugh but I also felt sad and bad for others

i loved cisneros writing style in this book and the structure of each chapter being a different vignette, all encompassing the overarching theme of home, with the subtheme of latin experiences. as a latina,  this book resonated with me in a sense.

i remember reading “bums in the attic” in ninth grade, so revisiting this book was fun

What a beautiful little collection of vignettes that explore the meaning of “home” and how different that word can feel in each of our mouths
