Words Without Borders: The Online Magazine For International
Literature presents their second "noir" issue.
TEMPERS AND TEMPERATURES RISE August
2006
In the murderous summer heat-when, to quote Raymond Chandler,
"Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and
study their husbands' necks"-we invite you to chill with the
icy killers, con men, and cops of our second noir issue.
Giampiero Rigosi's hustlers board the "Night Bus" in Bologna,
and Leonardo Padura's burned-out Cuban policeman confronts
Hurricane Felix and his own tropical depression in "Havana
Black." Tonino Benacquista's Parisian gallery worker wrestles
modern art and a modern art thief in "Framed," Gianrico
Carofiglio's weary Italan lawyer tries to stop smoking and go
straight in "A Walk in the Dark," and Marek Krajewski's
laconic inspector finds corpses in walls and ghosts
everywhere in "End of the World in Breslau." Jakob Arjouni's
disgraced gangster plots his heroic redemption in the antic
"Black Story," while Santiago Paez's Ecuadorian cops
investigate a suicide who's literally gone to pieces. Let
tempers and temperatures rise:
As Chandler noted, "Anything can happen."
