Available in this section are PDFs of all of the articles that have appeared in the New Haven Review's print edition. We could post them as simple text like everyone else does, but some of the articles are long—too long to appear as a simple column of text on a web page. Also, posting them as PDFs means that we can present them to you exactly as they appear in the print edition: beautiful and eminently readable, because we care about book design, and because the articles deserve it. You got a problem with that? Copyrights to all pieces are held by the authors of those respective pieces. If you are interested in reprinting them in whole or in significant part (i.e., outside the bounds of fair use), please contact us or the authors directly.
