Noir Anthology

Colección de relatos de Juan Ramón Biedma en la que el autor vuelve a hacer gala de su prosa descarnada y sin tapujos, su gusto por la truculencia y lo macabro y su afilada disección de los rincones más oscuros de nuestra sociedad actual. Los cuentos aquí recogidos son tan turbios como el crimen, tan negros como la literatura más peligrosa y tan afilados como unas fauces ensangrentadas.

La segunda publicación de Hugo Burel se dio en forma de libro de cuentos. En ellos, el autor siembra los que serán los rasgos sempiternos de su literatura venidera: su gusto por la prosa escueta, certera y afilada; sus tramas que se mueven entre los mimbres de la intriga y la novela negra, sus personajes de profundo perfil psicológico y sus alegorías sobre el Uruguay contemporáneo al que tanto ama aunque sea capaz de ver sus defectos diarios y sus contradicciones.

In this new collection of short stories, vignettes, and autobiographical sketches - many previously unpublished - Charles Willeford, author of Miami Blues and The Burnt Orange Heresy creates a mosaic of the absurdities of life in the 20th century. From a malicious grandmother to prophetic depictions of the power of reality television, with his wry humor and sudden shifts to violence, he seduces, amuses, and repeatedly surprises you.

Can’t you feel the warm velvety wings of a butterfly opening in your chest as the bourbon slides down your throat? Or maybe you feel the rasp developing in your voice from all those cigarettes.

Written like a script from film noir movie, you are to be transported to a time in the '30s, '40s or '50s, where the liquor flowed freely and there was always a Crosley radio playing in some room off in the distance, just barely audible.
