Review of B. Pladek, “The Runners,” Fantasy Magazine 94 (August 2023): 21-24 — Read online. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
Content note: Childlessness not by choice.
This is the sort of story I would probably have opted not to read, if it had the sort of content note that I’m providing here: It’s a story about a couple, who start off neither of them sure they want children, but then grow into a couple where one does and the other doesn’t. But having read it, I can say that the way in which it navigates this tough and sometimes treacherous situation is good, it’s a good story…it’s just one that I find hard to read.
