Review of Spoorthi Ag, “The Mischievous Kind,” Luna Station Quarterly 67 (September 2026): 53-65 — Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
Amala is a young journalist in Delhi who still needs to prove herself. When she’s told to write a story on the “beings worshipped at the edges” (p. 53), for her, it’s just another story. For us, we of course know that these fringe mythologies are about to become very central in Amala’s life!
Ag’s story is engaging, sprinkled equally with bits of humor and thought-provoking reflections. And while it didn’t perhaps have the ending we might all wish it had, it definitely had the right ending.
