Review of Jim Kourlas, “Toby on Third,” Flash Fiction Online 127 (April 2024): 8-10 — Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
This story gets reviewed on the blog here purely because of our commitment to review every story in an issue; there isn’t anything particularly speculative about it. Perhaps if there were, I would’ve enjoyed it more: A litfic story about baseball just isn’t my cup of tea. But even so, I was impressed at how Kourlas was able to construct such a complex and compelling father-son relationship in so little space.
