Martita, I Remember You/Martita, Te Recuerdo
Martita, I Remember You/Martita, Te Recuerdo | Sandra Cisneros
3 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
"An enchanting story about a writer remembering her short time in Paris and her reflections on friendships, relationships, and her younger self in a beautiful dual-language edition. Paris has long been romanticized as the city of light. A city with a vibrant literary and artistic expatriate community. Corina--nicknamed Puffina--is a young writer hoping to find that idealized community, but when her money runs out sooner than expected, she finds a network of artists simply trying to find work, make rent, and make Paris home. Years later, when a letter from her friend Martita resurfaces, Corina finds herself older and with enough distance to articulate her time in Paris. While Paris did not bring her the affirmation she was looking for as a writer, Corina finds an emotional connection to her friend that transcends space and time and demonstrates that we are most honest in our writing. Told with intimacy and tenderness, Martita, I Remember You is Sandra Cisneros at her best"--

A very short borrow-not-buy from my library. After finding a letter from years ago, a woman begins to reminisce about her time in Paris as a young woman, writing snippets of experiences that she and two other women share.

Quite a difference from the usual descriptions of... underwhelmed-ness most people talk of when they see La Gioconda. I haven't seen it, so I wouldn't know. What about my Litsy friends who have seen the Mona Lisa, agree with this description? Or have any other views on it?!
