Praise for The Straddler
“The Straddler is a substantial achievement. Always provocative, always stimulating.”
– Peter Davis
“The magazine is beautiful, intense, and important. Welcome, dear Straddler, to this world.”
– Fred Marchant
“The Straddler seems to challenge: ‘What is the next question?'”
– Megan Dougherty Cheek, Newpages
“The Straddler is adventurous and courageous. Its tapestry is transparent, focused and bold, and without being pompous, it is erudite and a venue of intellectual security for those who have been starving for writing that is dangerous and has a position to share which is often political and unapologetic. Here, the truth is something to be embraced, stimulated and coaxed into being because it is potent and intoxicating.”
– Micah Zevin, Newpages
