		<title>Blame Yale: A Brief Todd Solondz Q&amp;A</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You’ll be glad to know that writer-director Todd Solondz is not finished rummaging through the inner lives of depressive perverts. That puts it more cruelly than Solondz would, which is part of his&#160;charm. With Life During Wartime, a quasi-sequel, as he has called it, to his 1998 film Happiness (i.e. “the one about the pedophile”), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strange Love in NYC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When it debuted in Yale Cabaret&#8217;s 2009/10 Season, Janyia Antrum&#8217;s campy sci-fi musical Strange Love in Outer Space was the success story of The Dwight/Edgewood Project (see my review here).  Now its success continues with the play&#8217;s debut in New York in the eclectic and exciting New York Fringe Festival, Aug. 14, 17, 19, 21, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jeff VanderMeer&#8217;s &#8220;The Goat Variations&#8221; and &#8220;Three Days in a Border Town&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the abiding pleasures of writing books, and being lucky enough to have them published, is the way in which they have led me to discover parts of the literary world I may not have discovered otherwise.

		<title>Enjoying New Haven: A Guide to the Area by Betsy Sledge and Eugenia Fayen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The closing of Clark&#8217;s Dairy, and the news that Rudy&#8217;s will be relocating to a location that bears absolutely no resemblance to the place it&#8217;s been since it opened in 1934, have bummed me out significantly, but I think I can handle it. What made me realize I had to snap out of it (particularly [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Used to Be Smarter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[…or at least, that is the net effect of what aging, children, pets, mortgage payments have me sometimes believing. When I was a child I thought myself bright. Many of us at one time probably thought the same of ourselves. It was the euphoria of youth, the deeply felt conviction that with a little application, one&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>True, too True</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dino Buzzati once began a story: “A strange thing has just happened to me – an extraordinary thing – I haven’t decided whether or not to tell my editor.” That’s a chilling but accurate glimpse into the soul of the freelance writer. For the better part of the last twenty years, whenever anything strange or [...]]]></description>
