Thisoriginalanthology of noir fiction set in Maryland's Charm City includes new stories by David Simon, Laura Lippman, Jim Fusilli, and more.
As fans of the HBO series The Wire have known for years, Baltimore is home to a rich and diverse underworld that is matched by an equally rich and diverse literary tradition. This is the city where Dashiell Hammett worked as a Pinkerton agent. It's also where Zelda Fitzgerald came for psychiatric treatment. In this sterling collection of noir fiction, some of Baltimore's best authors "confront the full irony that is Charm City, a place where you can go from the leafy beauty of the North Side neighborhoods to the gutted ghettos of the West Side in less than twenty minutes, then find your way to the revamped Inner Harbor in another ten" (Laura Lippman, from the introduction).
Baltimore Noir includes brand-new stories by David Simon, Laura Lippman, Tim Cockey, Rob Hiaasen, Robert Ward, Sujata Massey, Jack Bludis, Rafael Alvarez, Marcia Talley, Joseph Wallace, Lisa Respers France, Charlie Stella, Sarah Weinman, Dan Fesperman, Jim Fusilli, and Ben Neihart.… (plus d'informations)
Some great stories and some real duds, but overall this gets a thumbs up from me. Some were very sad, others made me laugh, and a couple made me want the time I’d spent reading back. My only real gripe is that if you didn’t know anything at all about Baltimore, you’d think the city focused solely on either Baltimore Orioles baseball or reminiscing about “Homicide: Life on the Street”. Now, I loved both the book and the TV show, but there’s more to Baltimore than just that one show and baseball. ( )
