Life story of conrado v pedroche biography

Pedroche is part of that first generation of Filipino writers in English, college-educated, refined, and very self-conscious. His language shows this.

It is reflective and searching, romantic and elevated (though sometimes, he does use the slang of his period: no fooling!). Modern readers might find the language purple, but it isn't as dense as it could get. I'd call it lavender as opposed to deep aubergine.

I loved his use of imagery and incongruity: the hen nesting in the car, the tobacco pipe oiled with sweat from the carver's nose, the sudden frisson of a guitar strummed in the night by an unseen hand.

The scenes come like flashes of memory: sometimes out of order, but always falling into their correct place in the sculpture of emotional history that Pedroche is trying to create.
