TESTIMONIALS

“Boris Glikman is touched with genius. Unfortunately he lives in Australia. My people back horses and shy away from men of distinctive vision and gentle understanding. More Mr. Glikman – we will be better humans because of your productive pen…”.

“Boris Glikman is a thoughtful and gifted writer. His creativity knows no limits. His ability to view life from different perspectives and dimensions provides him the opportunity to imagine and envision another world of possibilities. He eloquently conveys these possibilities in profound and thought-provoking prose that has the capability of carrying the reader along with him to another time and space. Whether through storytelling or poetry, Boris’ gifts are on display In a plethora of shapes, sizes, and styles and bless us with their grace.”

Rev. Robert Meagher, Founder and Spiritual Director Spiritual Guidance  Ottawa, CANADA

 

“Burdened with a fervent and prolific imagination, Boris Glikman has managed the flow with patient skill and led many of us into quite astonishing new places of the mind. I appreciate also the innocence out of which his visions are spun; often enough they are dark or ironic, but whether the sun shines or the moon, it is in its own right and not just for effect. Long may his worlds perform their artful dances!”

John Beck, Editor, “being human” magazine (USA)

 

“Boris Glikman’s stories have impressed and amused me ever since I first encountered them. They’re quirky, distinctive and thought-provoking and invariably reward second and third readings. In the way he combines the real with the surreal, the mundane with the bizarre, you can see his appreciation of Kafka, but notwithstanding the importance of this influence his work is never derivative. In creating his highly individual brand of fiction, Boris weaves together his considerable scientific knowledge, his penchant for fantasy, and his desire to cast an oblique, idiosyncratic light on the human condition. The resulting fabric is colourful, its texture a delight. In 2015, one of my short stories appeared in the same anthology (blue Crow Magazine Issue Four) as one of Boris’s. To see my work in such company was an honour. But I wouldn’t try to write like him; I couldn’t.”

Mark P. Henderson, Author, Editor and Storyteller

 “Boris Glikman is unique in the writing world. Without regard for markets or outside expectations, he actually seems to be mining the core of human existence. To read him is to catch snippets of the human condition, and by that, I mean, the condition of being human, which is as mortal as it is marvellous, as revolutionary as it is oppressive,as enlightening as it is befuddling. Reading Boris is addictive. Reading Boris has made me more human. I am proud to have his story ‘The Pen of Plenty’ in Lizard Skin Press Anthology 4 (Strange) and I look forward to the day he achieves the recognition he deserves: a master of the short story and an important writer of our time.”
