“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.”

“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 BeckEditor, “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.”

“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.”
