Summary
This anthology of noir fiction set in São Paulo, Brazil, &“might be the strongest entry yet in the long-running and globe-spanning Akashic Noir series&” (San Francisco Book Review).Once known as the Land of Mist, São Paulo is now a dense,… diverse, and globalized metropolis. It is the most populous city in the Americas, the Portuguese-speaking world, and the southern hemisphere—with some of the worst traffic on the planet. From its gleaming skyscrapers to its historic downtown and its rough, drug-infested outskirts, this unique anthology explores a truly unique city with &“a timely feel, giving noir a host of feminine faces&” (Kirkus).São Paulo Noir includes fourteen brand-new stories by Tony Bellotto, Olivia Maia, Marcelino Freire, Beatriz Bracher & Maria S. Carvalhosa, Fernando Bonassi, Marcelo Rubens Paiva, Marçal Aquino, Jô Soares, Mario Prata, Ferréz, Vanessa Barbara, Ilana Casoy, and Drauzio Varella.
