Description
Boston Noir is a collection of original stories that explore the city's unique character and the gentrification that has transformed it. Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of noir anthologies, featuring new works by Dennis Lehane, Stewart O'Nan, Patricia Powell, John Dufresne, Lynne Heitman, Don Lee, Russ Aborn, J. Itabari Njeri, Jim Fusilli, Brendan DuBois, and Dana Cameron. In this anthology, you'll find stories that reflect the city's distinct humor, accent, and vocabulary, as well as its new class war of gentrification. The authors capture the essence of Boston's old-school parochialism and overt immigrant tribalism, as well as its loss of character in the face of progress. From the introduction by Dennis Lehane, it's clear that this collection is a nuanced exploration of the city's changing landscape, one that invites readers to consider the impact of gentrification on the people and places that make Boston unique.
