New Haven, as its name implies, has always strived to be a place of betterment for its citizens. Its Puritan founders wanted to make it a religious utopia. Its Colonial leaders transformed its shallow harbor into a shipping port and worked to bring Yale to town. Nineteenth-century entrepreneurs won industrial fame for the city with the manufacturing of arms, hardware, and carriages. By 1900, New Haven was home to thousands of new immigrants seeking a better life. It is no surprise, then, that as the century proceeded, local leaders tried to create a ìmodel city. This time, however, the tool

West Haven’s history has revolved around its four-mile Long Island shorefront since the days when Dutch settlers first saw the white shell mounds of Native American oystermen. Farming, shipbuilding, sea captains, and British invasions fill the town’s early development. The original six families could not have imagined West Farms with the first public library in Connecticut, the second oldest Episcopal church, or a park dedicated to an enemy officer, for whom the main street is named. Thomas Painter, West Haven’s own Paul Revere, escaped an enemy prison ship in Brooklyn, and l

At long last: Daniel Clowes is back at Pantheon, with a brilliant new graphic novel already hailed by Time as “another of his hilariously slightly off-center worlds that have a vague sense of dread about them. Kind of like where you live.” Welcome to Ice Haven! “It’s not as cold here as it sounds,” declares Random Wilder, our reluctant guide to this sleepy Midwestern town. He’s also its would-be poet laureate. Would-be, that is, were it not for the "Florid banalities” of his archrival, Ida Wentz, published ad nauseam in the Ice Haven Daily Progress. Among Wilder’s other f

Before and After Life places God as the Creator of everything, that includes the Universe and us, and that places us in the correct location that we all should be at this point in time. And how all religious leaders have let the people and this world down by not explaining life that includes death. While attending his oldest brother’s funeral, David looks around at all of the friends and family in attendance. He sees all of the tears and cannot help but wonder if they are tears of endurances or tears of regrets. It was the Angels that gave David the understanding of how our DNA plays a m
