"The stories in Bosses of Light and Sound are varied, daring, and full of surprise. Nickalus Rupert is a serious talent and this is a memorable, winning debut."--Justin Taylor, author of Flings, The Gospel of Anarchy, Everything Here is the Best Thing Ever, and Riding with the Ghost
Two movie-theater projectionists become addicted to "fixing" blockbuster films. An aged woman claims squatter's rights at a Congo-themed mini-golf park. An eleven-toed breakfast food designer tries to save a doomed relationship by attempting a foolish stunt. Nickalus Rupert's stories unearth humor and tenderness within the most trying aspects of being human. Bosses of Light and Sound will make you uncomfortable in the best way, as characters struggle to negotiate circumstances that range from ridiculous, to excruciating, to improbably sublime.
