Review of Wugee Kelly, “Canis,” Radon Journal 9 (2025): 37-49. — Read online. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
While at 12 pages this story is longer than many in Radon Journal, it still felt like it took an especially long time to get going. At no point did we actually meet any humans (at least, not living!) — the only creatures we encounter are a menagerie of animals, and then the robot who becomes the central focus of the story. But no matter how much you anthropomorphise a robot, it’s still not a person; and without a character to latch on to, I found this a difficult story to get invested in.
