A review by titusfortner
The Art of Space Travel by Nina Allan

3.0

One of the 2017 Hugo nominations for best novelette.

This is science fiction only in the loosest sense. This story would not be any less relevant in a setting where there are no astronauts traveling to Mars, the protagonist would just be musing about slightly different things. The writing itself is nice, but the plot is meandering and the ending is obvious.
