Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments The Last of the Menu Girls, Denise Chávez, 1986, United States, SHORT STORIES

"...In "Shooting Star," she sees the faces of the women from her family in the plaster walls of her home and wonders if beauty is "a physical or spiritual thing."...And when Rocio decides to become a writer, her mother reminds her that all the stories she has to tell are from the street where she grew up."

(H.S., p. 81)
