Rubén Degollado

Degollado’s dialogue and his first-person narrators show an exuberant joy in language, unselfconsciously moving back and forth between English and Spanish, colloquial and lyrical modes (or sometimes using all four at once), reveling in the sprung rhythms, stretching English to its extreme southern borders and finding cognates and variations as rich as anything in Elizabethan drama.
