Beschreibung
Discover the darker side of the Garden State with this anthology of gritty mystery stories.Akashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each volume is compromised of all-new stories, each one set in a distinct location within the geographical area of the book. In New Jersey Noir, a star-studded cast of authors sifts through the hidden dirt of the Garden State.Featuring brand-new stories (and a few poems) by Joyce Carol Oates, Jonathan Safran Foer, Robert Pinsky, Edmund White & Michael Carroll, Richard Burgin, Pulitzer Prize-winner Paul Muldoon, Sheila Kohler, C.K. Williams, Gerald Stern, Lou Manfredo, S.A. Solomon, Bradford Morrow, Jonathan Santlofer, Jeffrey Ford, S.J. Rozan, Barry N. Malzberg & Bill Pronzini, Hirsh Sawhney, and Robert Arellano.Praise for New Jersey Noir"e;Oates's introduction to Akashic's noir volume dedicated to the Garden State, with its evocative definition of the genre, is alone worth the price of the book . . . Highlights include Lou Manfredo's "e;Soul Anatomy,"e; in which a politically connected rookie cop is involved in a fatal shooting in Camden; S.J. Rozan's "e;New Day Newark,"e; in which an elderly woman takes a stand against two drug-dealing gangs; and Jonathan Santlofer's "e;Lola,"e; in which a struggling Hoboken artist finds his muse . . . . Poems by C.K. Williams, Paul Muldoon, and others-plus photos by Gerald Slota-enhance this distinguished entry."e; -Publishers Weekly"e;It was inevitable that this fine noir series would reach New Jersey. It took longer than some readers might have wanted, but, oh boy, was it worth the wait . . . More than most of the entries in the series, this volume is about mood and atmosphere more than it is about plot and character . . . It should go without saying that regular readers of the noir series will seek this one out, but beyond that, the book also serves as a very good introduction to what is a popular but often misunderstood term and style of writing."e; -Booklist, Starred Review"e;A lovingly collected assortment of tales and poems that range from the disturbing to the darkly humorous."e; -Shelf Awareness
