Reading Like a Writer: The House on Mango Street — A Big Read Craft Talk with Eliot Treichel

In conjunction with The Big Read, this craft talk explores Sandra Cisneros’ “The House on Mango Street” through a “reading like a writer” lens. Rather than simply focusing on the novel’s story or themes, the lecture will discuss what it means to read “like a writer” and then look at some of the writing choices Cisneros employs in her work — all with the goal of improving our own craft. Join the live event online at 6 p.m. at fishtrap.org, or stream it afterward.

MARCH 4-8

Big Read Finale: A Film Series Inspired by “The House on Mango Street”

Presented in partnership with the Wichita Public Library and curated by mama.film, this finale consists of a series of virtual screenings of short films inspired by “The House on Mango Street.” These films explore subjects including identity and belonging, the immigrant experience, generational divide, responsibility, gender, family, faith and home. Their main characters add depth and perspective to the story and life of Esperanza Cordero, the book’s protagonist.

Streamed online at fishtrap.org and available for viewing afterward, the films are “El Carrito,” “The Train Station,” “Are You Still There?,” “Her Dance” and “Mano Santa.” To register for the films and more details, go to fishtrap.org/tbr2022-finale/.

E.M. “Lizzie” Sloan leads this four-session online micro essay workshop from 6-7:30 p.m. Registration is $180 or $160 for Fishtrappers. Register at fishtrap.org.

Inspired by “The House on Mango Street,” which is written in a series of short chapters or vignettes, the Wednesday evening sessions will play with isolated scenes that participants find are buried deep in the recesses of mind, heart and soul.

The Big Read kicked off Wednesday, Feb. 16, when Fishtrap’s executive director Shannon McNearney visited with Sandra Cisneros, the author of this year’s featured book, “The House on Mango Street.” The conversation can be watched at any time by visiting fishtrap.org.
