Sandra Cisneros is a national treasure. Her first novel, The House on Mango Street, was named an NEA "Big Read" for this year. The work has become a modern classic since its release in 1984, translated into 25 languages with over 6 million copies sold. This month, Cisneros releases her first work of fiction in a decade, Martita, I Remember You / Martita, te recuerdo. The Revolución co-hosts Linda Lane Gonzalez, Kathryn Garcia Castro, and Court Stroud talk with the author about what draws her to houses, why she took so long to release a new work of fiction, and the reason she recently said, "I write because the world we live in is a house on fire, and the people we love are burning."
