Review of Mary Jo Rabe, “Rodney’s Request,” Luna Station Quarterly 56 (2023): Read online. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
This story about a Scottish unicorn visiting Iowa (a state I know well through my husband, also an Iowa State alumni!) made me laugh, which was exactly the tonic I needed amidst some dark times. Sometimes, I am incredibly grateful that short fiction is a thing, and that places like LSQ and authors like Rabe make it so easy for us to have.
