Specificatii
Atlanta has its share, maybe more than its share, of prosperity.
But wealth is no safeguard against peril...Creepy as well as dark,
grim in outlook...Hints of the supernatural may make these
tales...appealing to lovers of ghost stories.--Kirkus ReviewsThese
stories, most of them by relative unknowns, offer plenty of human
interest...All the tales have a Southern feel.--Publishers
WeeklyJones, author of Leaving Atlanta, returns to the South via
Akashic's ever-growing city anthology series. The collection
features stories from an impressive roster of talent including Jim
Grimsley, Sheri Joseph, Gillian Royes, Anthony Grooms and David
James Poissant. The 14 selections each take place in different
Atlanta neighborhood.--Atlanta-Journal ConstitutionNow comes
Atlanta Noir, an anthology that masterfully blends a chorus of
voices, both familiar and new, from every corner of Atlanta...The
magic of Atlanta Noir is readily apparent, starting with the
introduction Jones pens. It doesn't rest solely upon the breadth of
writers but on how their words, stories and references are so
Atlanta--so very particular, so very familiar and so very readily,
for those who know the city, nostalgic. And for those who don't?
The sense of place it captures inspires a desire to get to know
Atlanta and its stories.--ArtsATLAkashic Books continues its
award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004
with Brooklyn Noir. Each book comprises all new stories, each one
set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective
city. This much-anticipated and long-overdue installment in
Akashic's Noir Series reveals many sides of Atlanta known only to
its residents.Brand-new stories by: Tananarive Due, Kenji Jasper,
Tayari Jones, Dallas Hudgens, Jim Grimsley, Brandon Massey,
Jennifer Harlow, Sheri Joseph, Alesia Parker, Gillian Royes,
Anthony Grooms, John Holman, Daniel Black, and David James
Poissant.From the introduction by Tayari Jones: Atlanta itself is a
crime scene. After all, Georgia was founded as a de facto penal
colony and in 1864, Sherman burned the city to the ground. We might
argue about whether the arson was the crime or the response to the
crime, but this is indisputable: Atlanta is a city sewn from the
ashes and everything that grows here is at once fertilized and
corrupted by the past...These stories do not necessarily conform to
the traditional expectations of noir...However, they all share the
quality of exposing the rot underneath the scent of magnolia and
pine. Noir, in my opinion, is more a question of tone than content.
The moral universe of the story is as significant as the physical
space. Noir is a realm where the good guys seldom win; perhaps they
hardly exist at all. Few bad deeds go unrewarded, and good
intentions are not the road to hell, but are hell itself...Welcome
to Atlanta Noir. Come sit on the veranda, or the terrace of a
high-rise condo. Pour yourself a glass of sweet tea, and fortify it
with a slug of bourbon. Put your feet up. Enjoy these stories, and
watch your back.
