Description
This "varied and polished" anthology of original noir fiction introduces a new wave of Czech authors to English-speaking audiences ( Publishers Weekly ). It can be difficult to imagine noir fiction emerging in a city like Prague, where the profession of private detective didn't even exist prior to 1990. Before the Velvet Revolution, the only serious criminal organization was the secret police. Yet, with its complex and often tragic history, the home of Franz Kafka and Milan Kundera offers a uniquely rich setting for stories of menace, danger, and secrecy; tales of individuals driven to break the law in the face of a desperate situation. In this "superior entry in Akashic's noir series," fourteen contemporary Czech authors introduce themselves—and their world—to an international audience ( Publishers Weekly ). Prague Noir includes brand-new stories by Martin Goffa, Štěpán Kopřiva, Miloš Urban, Jiří W. Procházka, Chaim Cigan, Ondřej Neff, Petr Stančík, Kateřina Tučková, Markéta Pilátová, Michal Sýkora, Michaela Klevisová, Petra Soukupová, Irena Hejdová, and Petr Šabach.
