Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories by Sandra Cisneros
5.0
"There was a man, a crazy who lived upstairs from us when we lived on South Loomis. He couldn't talk, just walked around all day with this harmonica in his mouth. Didn't play it. Just sort of breathed through it, all day long, wheezing, in and out, in and out.
This is how it is with me. Love I mean."
-"One Holy Night"
I saw a tumblr post this week criticizing five-star reviewers for not putting any real thought into their reading experience and instead overshadowing the story's lack of pacing and mediocre writing with their uwu feelings about so and so and so. And to that I say, boo! You suck! Reading is supposed to be pleasurable and if you happen to find pleasure in reading like you're in a high school English Lit class, then all the power to you. But don't go raining on anyone else's parade. Feelings are just as smart as annotations.
Anyway, I love Sandra Cisneros and I loved these stories, even the ones I'll forget in a few weeks. They were personal, sentimental, romantic, and I felt a lot of things while reading, pretty little uwu things. So I'll scatter these five stars into the universe and wait patiently for my next batch.
