About the Book

Israeli crime fiction that "sets the bar high for subsequent Noir offerings. The genre is hot, Tel Aviv is exotic, and this volume is outstanding" (Library Journal, starred review).

Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies, launched with the summer '04 award-winning bestseller Brooklyn Noir. Each book is comprised of all-new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city. For Tel Aviv Noir, Etgar Keret and Assaf Gavron have masterfully assembled some of Israel's top contemporary writers into a compulsively readable collection.

Along with Gon Ben Ari's story "Clear Recent History"--winner of the Private Eye Writers of America Shamus Award for Best P.I. Short Story--this anthology includes brand-new stories by: Etgar Keret, Gadi Taub, Lavie Tidhar, Deakla Keydar, Matan Hermoni, Julia Fermentto, Shimon Adaf, Alex Epstein, Antonio Ungar, Gai Ad, Assaf Gavron, Silje Bekeng, and Yoav Katz; translated by Yardenne Greenspan.

Jewish Journal's Noteworthy Books for the New Year

"There's a marvelous underlying tension to [the stories], a paranoid tinge, as if some vast monstrous conspiracy is lurking behind every misdeed and bad stroke of luck." --San Francisco Book Review

"The collection reflects much of the daily reality of the city, but not the sort one is likely to read in tour guides . . . There's a complexity and virtuosity to plot and prose that leaves the reader with a sense of satisfaction and appreciation, despite the typically devastating denouement of the tales . . . Superb." --PopMatters

"Consistently strong . . . Definitely one of the highlights in the long-running Akashic series." --Booklist, starred review
