Cisneros Writes to Make Peace — With Self and Others

September 17, 2007 - 12:00am

Sandra Cisneros does not only tell stories in her fiction, she carries them with her on her skin — she has a tattoo on her left arm she calls “the Buddhalupe,” a female version of Buddha, with a third eye on the figure’s hand to remind her to always “look deeply.”

“[It wasn’t] so bad,” she recalled of the day she got the tattoo. “Love hurts more than that.”

Students, faculty and other fans of Cisneros filled Schwartz Auditorium last Thursday, sitting on the floor in front or standing in the back to listen to her stories and essays as part of the Fall 2007 Reading Series.
