Bibliography -- Bruce Boston
Review Quotes
"...collects nearly two dozen
brilliant stories, ranging across all
emotional and narrative terrains."
--Paul Di Filippo, The Washington
Post, on Masque of Dreams
"It is rare to find a writer capable
of writing both prose and poetry
with equal skill, and in the SF/F/H
genres there is no greater
practitioner of that combination
than Bruce Boston." --Tim Pratt,
Locus, on Masque of Dreams
"Boston addresses the issues of
individuality in a seemingly perfect
world, a world that in actuality is
rife with problems....this book
certainly belongs as a great
anti-authoritarian novel for the
ages."
--Anders Monsen, Prometheus on
The Guardener's Tale
"Boston is deft and quirky. He is
also gifted with a distinctive way
of seeing 'the other' ...it is the best
of the classics he brings to mind."
--Tom Easton, Analog, on Night
Eyes
"...uncommon grace and clarity of
vision. Boston writes with the
voice of a poet, the heart of a
bodhisattva, and the unblinking
eye of an investigative reporter."
--Daniel Marcus, Wired, on
Stained Glass Rain
"Again, with emphasis: this entire
collection is composed of
award-winning poems. I cannot
think of another writer in the genre
who could fill a book of short
pieces with award-winners, with
the exception, perhaps, of Harlan
Ellison." --Michael Arnzen,
Strange Horizons, on Quanta
"It is witty, wise, and hysterically
funny!...rivals the Hitchhiker's
Guide series for sheer comic
brilliance." --J. L. Comeau,
Creature Feature, on Etiquette
with Your Robot Wife.
