Parent eval (reader) function in a Clojure source?

In Peak Norwig epic tome The Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming in Chapter 7 — he describes a function interpthat is actually a simple function evalused to interpret bare-bones in REPL.

(defun interp (x &optional env)
  "Interpret (evaluate) the expression x in the environment env."
  (cond
    ((symbolp x) (get-var x env))
    ((atom x) x)
    ((case (first x)
       (QUOTE  (second x))
       (BEGIN  (last1 (mapcar #'(lambda (y) (interp y env))
                              (rest x))))
       (SET!   (set-var! (second x) (interp (third x) env) env))
       (IF     (if (interp (second x) env)
                   (interp (third x) env)
                   (interp (fourth x) env)))
       (LAMBDA (let ((parms (second x))
                     (code (maybe-add 'begin (rest2 x))))
                 #'(lambda (&rest args)
                     (interp code (extend-env parms args env)))))
       (t      ;; a procedure application
               (apply (interp (first x) env)
                      (mapcar #'(lambda (v) (interp v env))
                              (rest x))))))))

Interestingly, in the opening chapter of Christian Queinnec's Lisp In Small Pieces, the functions are very similar, he calls it eval.

;;; This is a naive evaluator for Scheme written in naive Scheme.

(define (evaluate e env)
  (if (atom? e) 
      (cond ((symbol? e) (lookup e env))
            ((or (number? e) (string? e) (char? e)
                 (boolean? e) (vector? e) )
             e )
            (else (wrong "Cannot evaluate" e)) )
      (case (car e)
        ((quote)  (cadr e))
        ((if)     (if (evaluate (cadr e) env)
                      (evaluate (caddr e) env)
                      (evaluate (cadddr e) env) ))
        ((begin)  (eprogn (cdr e) env))
        ((set!)   (update! (cadr e) env (evaluate (caddr e) env)))
        ((lambda) (make-function (cadr e) (cddr e) env))
        (else     (invoke (evaluate (car e) env)
                          (evlis (cdr e) env) )) ) ) )

My question is: where is the source of Clojure the equivalent function of eval/ interp? I guess this is somewhere in the reader code.
