The House on Mango Street (pub. 1984), circa 1977; 1990-2009
Subseries Description
The House on Mango Street does not include any of the manuscript material from the 1984 Arte Público Press edition, but there is the original artwork for that book. And the series does include Cisneros’ original drafts from The University of Iowa. The bulk of the series relates to the 1990 Random House edition with proofs, and new introduction and “about the author” materials. Translations are also well represented, with a Spanish translation by Elena Poniatowska and Juan Ascencio, and a French translation by Claude Pouplard. Correspondence with French, Japanese and Spanish translators is also included. The series also includes drafts of various film and theatrical adaptations.
