REVIEW
This is a short story novel about the interrogation of people and how they face their intense secrets. The setting is Los Angeles, CA where women, men, and children face some hard questions that are asked and answered during interrogations. The characters come to the reality that they have to face some deep, dark secrets that have been lurking in their past.  Their stories were published in several well known literary magazines.  Facing your life, really facing it, all the lies and secrets that you have carried for so long and all of it has affected your family can be devastating and un-nerving. Many times the characters keep to their denial.  But Ott, smiles and goes around all the lies and deceit. He doesn't use brute force but uses the heart as a probe to go past the deceit and get to the truth.Grab a copy of INTERROGATIONS: Stories by Martin Ott and go past the lies and deceit of people as Mr, Ott interrogates them to get to the truth and the answers he needs.
