“At StatORec I commit to interviewing the most dynamic and exciting literary personages working today regardless of whether they are household names published at one of the majors or unknowns producing at small presses. That same standard will be applied to the books reviewed. I’m very grateful to be here.” — Jordan A. Rothacker.
