Eric Lotke is an author, activist and scholar. His early work like The Real War on Crime was groundbreaking on criminal justice policy. His original research on “Prisoners of the Census” has led to new law in nine states so far. His lawsuit over the exploitative price of phone calls from prison led to new rules by the FCC. Lotke’s latest novel, Union Made, explores what union organizing means for the workplace, the economy and maybe even the organizer’s love life.

“Making Manna clearly establishes Eric Lotke as an impressively gifted novelist.” — Midwest Book Review
