Ct. Review New Edition Fall 06

The Fall 2006 issue of Connecticut Review is on the street.
In this issue:

* In his short story "The Finest Writers in the World Today"
Tom Williams invents a celebrity look-alike talent agency that
expands its offerings to include famous authors. Soon the author
impersonators are the hottest selling product in the agency, but the
writers are strange. "John Irving always wanted to wrestle, and
William Burroughs was just plain creepy."

* Poet Renee Ashley, winner of the 2006 Sunken Garden Poetry
Award, describes sitting in a "nifty room and a view of the dead who
have a view of you."

* Essayist Paul Ruffin tells how a child's desire to visit a
Memphis zoo, is thwarted by racial segregation; it's a powerful look
at denied expectations.

* WestConn Professional Writing major and former CSU fiction
award winner Marty Collins engages best-selling literary novelist
Stewart O'Nan (A World Away, Night Country, Snow Angels, The Good
Wife) to provide an unusually detailed, and surprising, look at one
writer's process.

* Spanish playwright Francisco Nieva's (translated by Phyllis
Zatlin) updates the Red Riding Hood story. Hear little Red explain
why she has fallen hopelessly in love with the wolf.

* On the cover and in its color section last year's winner of
the CSU art award, WestConn MFA in art student Rolandas Kiaulevicius,
exhibits a range of watercolors, pastel's and acrylics that portray
memories of his Lithuanian homeland and meditative existential states.

The special section of the Spring 2006 issue of Connecticut Review is devoted to trauma studies and trauma theory. With that in mind, we have two writers whose work speaks to the trauma of the Holocaust and the inherited trauma of a Holocaust survivor. First Erma Odrach reads her translation of her grandfather's short story set in post-WWII Europe enttiled, "The Chosen Ones." Then Natalie Freidman reads her theoretical essay on the nature of inherited trauma as the grandchild of a Holocaust survivor entitled "Inherited Trauma: A Member of the Third Generation Speaks."
