Brownsville: Brilliant Book

I recently read Brownsville by Oscar Casares. Casares won the Dobie-Paisano Fellowship a few years back. This collection of short stories is pitch perfect. From a linguistic point of view, it is incredible how he distinguishes one character from another. For example, one character in a story will speak only in English, another only in Spanish, and yet a third will code switch. Casares' work is vibrant, humane, and humorous. This is a writer to watch.
