Staten Island Noir by Patricia Smith (Editor)
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 0.3MB
Overview: ASK ANY RESIDENT OF NEW YORK CITY to name the five boroughs and they’ll rattle off four with no problem whatsoever, hesitating and scrunching their countenance before Staten Island occurs to them–if, indeed, it occurs to them at all. To them, it’s that tiny claustrophobic place where everybody knows everybody else’s business and the breezes that blast through drape everything in the stink of landfill. It’s dim and industrial, populated by swaggering Jersey Shore wannabes and residents who spend most of their time aspiring to be elsewhere. The "forgotten borough," is not only routinely forgotten–it’s misunderstood, mocked, dismissed, maligned, ridiculed, belittled, and scorned. While this probably causes the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce no end of frustration, it makes the island the perfect haven for mayhem, mischief, and murder. If people can’t even remember that the place exists, what better haven for noir? What better place to stash a stiff?
THESE STORIES–FROM B-BOYS AND SI NATIVES to Edgar Award-winners–bring Staten Island front and center as a borough that’s bellowing and boisterous and insisting on identity. Staten Island may be the last New York borough to be represented in the Noir Series, but that’s only because no one knows it. This introduction will be intriguing, addictive, and not totally comfortable.
