Moni and Kat review “The House on Mango Street” by Sandra Cisneros
Episode 257
Published 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
This week, the hosts dive into The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros and for once, they don’t see eye to eye. In a rare twist, one host connected with the book while the other didn’t, not because of the story itself, but because of its unique vignette-style format. Even with that divide, the conversation proves why this modern classic continues to resonate, sparking thoughtful discussion around voice, identity, and storytelling. You’ll have to tune in to find out who was on which side. Cheers!!
