Opis

class="MsoNormal">"The dank and sweaty crime scenes in Paris Noirtestify to the fact that the French invented noir. Among the jarring images in this story collection, Didier Daeninckx s murky view of the after-hours scene in Porte Saint-Denis and Marc Villard s gritty look at the sex trade in Les Halles are correctives to all those persistent romantic fantasies about the city. "New York Times"
"Paris Noir "takes you on a ride through the old medieval center of town with its winding streets, its ghosts, and its secrets buried in history. This is more than an homage to the crime genre, to Melville and Godard, it s also a lush introduction to the very best in French fiction.
Brand-new stories from: Marc Villard, Didier Daeninckx, Jean-Bernard Pouy, Salim Bachi, Christophe Mercier, Jerome Leroy, DOA, Laurent Martin, Herve Prudon, Patrick Pecherot, Dominique Mainard, and Chantal Pelletier.
Aurelien Masson is the director of la Serie Noire at Gallimard, one of France s leading publishing companies.
