(From interview with 61 Local owner David Liatti)

Part of your goal with 61 Local is to create a space where people can share ideas and connect with like-minded neighbors. Have you seen the effects of this yet?

Definitely. In the short time we’ve been open, 61 has become a second home to a lot of the local producers whose products we carry and I see good connections happening there. Our events are starting to amplify this effect....Neighborhood writers Prudence Peiffer and Oana Sanziana [Marian] host monthly readings called “The Folding Chair” that feature neighborhood peers.

An excerpt from Dan Sociu's second novel Special Needs (Polirom, 2008) was published in eXchanges, a University of Iowa publication devoted to literary translation.

An excerpt from Dan Sociu's celebrated work Urbancolia (translated by Oana Marian) appears in THE WALL IN MY HEAD, edited by Words Without Borders and published by Open Letter Press.

“Living Differently, Beyond Economic Crisis.”

A new installment in the ongoing series, Repossessing Virtue, bringing the voices of Speaking of Faith listeners into the conversation they've been building online and on-air since the economic downturn began last year. Many are grappling with the shame that comes in American culture with the loss of a job, and many are seeking community in old places and new. For some, economic instability — a kind of life on the edge — is not new. They've been cultivating virtues of patience, self-examination, service and good humor that might help us all.
