Escrito para ser escuchado Los personajes de Cisneros tienen voz propia y retratan a la perfección la eterna lucha interna que atraviesan los que no se identifican con la sociedad americana, pero tampoco con aquella de la que provienen. La incertidumbre, la cautela y el vacío existencial se entremezclan en diálogos que intentan definir lo que es ser chicano.
