City Stories

Big City Blues is about cities like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Paris. We’re not talking about the little guys, such as, Denver, St. Louis, Omaha, did I say Omaha? Not that there is anything wrong with the little ones, but there really is a difference – a dynamic that can’t be captured in the smaller cities.

​

But the importance of the big cities is in the small stories one can find there. One expects to find smaller stories in smaller places, so it’s more extraordinary when one comes across them in the mega cities. Like Max the cabdriver who moonlights as a standup comedian. Or Isabela and Lily, hidden away in their small neighborhood looking for an adventure. Or Sarah, a young woman determined to make it in life as a writer. And, finally, Gabriella who falls into a wonderous surprise.

​
