Bruce Boston: Gallimaufry

GALLIMAUFRY: By
Bruce Boston. Plum White Press, 2021, 134 pages.

Bruce Boston is a Bram Stoker Award winner, but that says
little about the breadth and depth of his talent. As others have remarked on
his work, you’ll find facets of language and story that resonate with the art
of Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, Franz Kafka, George Orwell, Dylan Thomas, and Oscar
Wilde in his offerings.  But all of his
work is uniquely “Boston,” and I hope that someday, someone will remark that
they see a little of Bruce Boston in my work. It would be a high honor.

This is a collection of Boston’s short stories that span
some fifty years of his life. Every single one of these is a small jewel of
effort and art, from the profound sadness of “Cold Finale,” written with Marge
Simon, to the absolute hilarity of “An Unrecognized Masterwork,” to the peyote-like
stream of images in “Surreal Chess (which I desperately wish I’d written.)

Let Boston tell you where luck comes from in “Tales of the
Dead Wizard,” or scratch an itch with “The Infernal Itch.” I highly recommend
this collection. I loved it.
