A new art exhibit, and a panel on migration facilitated by Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services (IRIS). The screening and discussion of the “first-ever ethnographic acid Western.” A Sun Ra tribute concert.
All these events and more, happening between now and the middle of May, are organized around a single novel by a science-fiction visionary that is the focus of this year’s One City: One Read, a campaign organized by the International Festival of Arts and Ideas, in partnership with Yale’s Schwarzman Center, the New Haven Free Public Library, Artspace, and Best Video.

The following is a short story written by Hill Regional Career High School student Amelia Stefanovics and republished from the student magazine Elm City Sage.
When Mahogany Lowery went on field trips as a child, she needed an adult with her to give her insulin and make sure her blood sugar levels were not too high or too low. Her diabetes hospitalized her every year, she recalled.
The New Haven native has spun those memories into fiction with her first book, Greatness Over The Rainbow. The book, to be released on Amazon on Friday, follows four kids living in a city like New Haven who experience chronic illness and the deaths of family members and overcome those challenges.
A thousand years from now … Civilization left 242 years ago. And scientists have returned to go through the rubble at Yale University.
The Time Lab at the School of Science at Yale has been recording all of the history of mankind. So in going through the rubble we’re digging through recorded history of what happened that caused people to leave.

In my 12 years writing stories for the Independent, I’ve covered, no surprise, many issues dealing with parking, and parking lots. Too many. Throw in a few more stories over the years about parakeets, and specifically little monk parrots, nesting in United Illuminating transformers at City Point and other locales that occasionally erupt into flames.
Add a note or two floating in via the remembered fictional voice of Bernard Malamud, a pinch of cranky musings about the Jewish High Holidays, upcoming, mix it all up, hope you’re lucky — and that’s how the following fiction story, “High Holiday Parrot,” emerged.

In which Terence becomes so popular as a media personality, such a spokesman for the downtrodden, that he is recruited for a political career. Read part two of New Haven novelist and playwright Allan Appel’s four-part Thanksgiving fable. (Click here to start with part one if you didn’t yesterday.)

The conclusion of New Haven novelist and playwright Allan Appel’s four-part holiday serial. Today, Terence’s oratory, leadership, and remarkable political candor reach their height, leading the turkey nation —”- and us — into a future perhaps without Thanksgiving.
Finally. Election Day arrives.
Lenora Garvey’s in for a surprise. And an unforgettable dessert.
Can a Libertarian mayoral candidate find common cause with preservationists?
