I’m not a very astute reviewer of fiction, or semi-fiction, or
fictional prose or stories. When language ignites my attention while I’m
reading – and makes me want to keep on reading, then I know I've found a
“keeper”.
Bucket Siler sent me Further Distractions and it’s going to
take a literary wizard greater than I to give this zine / chapbook / anthology
the review it deserves. The stories within seem to focus on moments in
relationships when everything is balanced halfway over the edge … the moment
when you’re going to stumble across that huge insight, that inner secret, the
right road to take … or not. It all comes down to small moments, even if the
desert wind blows those moments into a monsoon.
If I received letters like those missives that Bucket includes
in Further Distractions, I’d be running to my mailbox the minute I got home
from work. And dusting off my typewriter.
