Review of R. J. Howell, "37 Seconds to Say Goodbye," Luna Station Quarterly 58 (2024): 15-22 -- Purchase online. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
This is a quick, staccato story, told in short scenes, with short paragraphs, and (mostly) short sentences. All of this serves to underscore the sense of urgency already imparted by the title. While reading the story certainly takes more than 37 seconds, it certainly doesn't feel like it. All aspects of this story are interlocked with each other just perfectly, to make it both effective and novel. Much fun to read!
