my end of year certificate for unpaid labour from Springer Nature reviewer-feedback.springernature.com/year_end_rev...

"Allen’s prose refuses the consolations of philosophical clarity, but instead makes palpable the exhaustion, violence, and futility at the heart of the pedagogical project, positioning fiction itself as the only form capable of enacting this critique from within." David Vichnar

'At once historical fiction, philosophical meditation, and radical experiment, Jonathan Martin is a novel of fire and prophecy, of derangement and divine vengeance, that confronts the reader with the instability of reason and the dangerous allure of belief.'—David Vichnar
