“A book to read slowly and to return to often, not just for its content but also its cheekily daring form." –Southern Review of Books
Award-winning author Alan Michael Parker displays his love for playful narrative and breaking all the rules in Bingo Bango Boingo, a collection of flash fiction and stories told through Bingo cards
Flip the page. Choose your game. Is it “Community Garden Bingo”? “High School Reunion Bingo”? “Don’t Hate Your Daddy Bingo”? Or are you finally ready for “Change Your Life Bingo”?
Featuring 40 Bingo cards, interspersed with flash fiction and an opportunity to try the Bingo game yourself, this is a wholly original collection. Delightful, unexpected, and tongue in cheek—they’re stories, they’re Bingo cards, they’re wild, you’ll like them.
"The flash is fantastic. Parker shows mastery over the form with pieces of varying length and style, his long career in poetry and flash fiction manifests itself in the strength of his writing and the imagery packed into the tiny boxes of a bingo card...Parker has written Bingo Bango Boingo as a thoughtful, entertaining, and engaging collection of flash fiction and bingo cards, with something for every reader. As the book claims on its back cover, you’ll probably like it." –Mānoa Journal
