About D.C. Noir 2
<p>Pelecanos explores D.C.'s historic malaise, following up the best-selling first volume of <em>D.C. Noir</em>. Classic reprints from: Edward P. Jones, George Pelecanos, Paul Laurence Dunbar, James Grady, Julian Mayfield, Marita Golden, Elizabeth Hand, Julian Mazor, Ward Just, Roach Brown, Larry Neal, and others. Pelecanos has established himself as one of the best writers in D.C. literary history, but here he pays tribute to the city's other chroniclers of darkness, past and present, including Edward P. Jones and Paul Laurence Dunbar.</p>From Publishers Weekly<p>By broadly interpreting what constitutes noir, Pelecanos has been able to include writers as diverse as Langston Hughes and Ward Just in this high-quality reprint anthology. In his introduction, Pelecanos describes his vision of a century-long overview of D.C. fiction that would focus on issues of race, ethnicity, politics, class, and the attendant struggles and changes that occurred in various eras of our history. Paul Laurence Dunbar, an African-American poet, opens the book on a powerful note with A Council of State, a story of political intrigue first published in 1900 that will still resonate with contemporary readers. The equally powerful final selection, an excerpt from Marita Golden's novel <em>After</em> (2006), presents the agonizing moments just before and after a black police officer fatally shoots a fellow black man, who turns out to have been holding not a gun but a cellphone. Other contributors include Ross Thomas, Jean Toomer and Richard Wright. <em>(Sept.)</em> <br>Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
