Marseille Noir
Edited by: Cédric
Fabre
This
collection of fictional stories about Marseille is diverse, dark,
macabre, quirky and totally irresistible. Each story has a unique
voice about crime and the dark side of the city. By far my favorite
was “I'll go away
with the first man who says I love you”
by Marie Neuser. I also really liked “The
Warehouse of People
from Before” by
Salim Hatubou.
In
this selection of stories Marseille comes across as a hard, tough,
masculine city full of crime but also full of life and interesting
characters. It will make you realize that Marseille is more than just
an old, picturesque city by the sea. This is my first book in the
Noir series and I found it so enjoyable that I definitely want to
read more.
Thanks
to Library Thing and Akashic Books for providing me with a review
copy of the book.
