Description

Lavie Tidhar's The Lunacy Commission is a darkly comic and haunting collection of five short stories that explore the complexities of human nature. In these gripping tales, a down-at-heels private detective navigates the mean streets of 1930s London, confronting blackmail, murder, theft, and old comrades in equal measure. With an introduction by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, this novel is a warped genius of alternate history noir that will leave you shocked, horrified, and comic. Tidhar's unique vision brings a heart to these stories, making them both unsettling and unforgettable. Tidhar's writing is a potent thought experiment, clever and witty, with a brutal, harrowing, heartbreaking edge that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
