Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet.

Reviews
"It's a collection enhanced by an unerring sense of place [...] that will please the most discriminating lovers of the dark side." -- Kirkus Reviews "It took long enough for Akashic's noir series to get to Philly. Now that it has, compiled under the shadowy auspices of Inquirer literary critic/West Philly native Carlin Romano, the fun begins." -- Philadelphia City Paper, Carlin Romano assembles a balanced collection of stories from local writers reflecting the neighborhoods and sensibilities of the city and residents without romanticizing them . . . There's no story in Philadelphia Noir that should be excised, and nothing that I can't believe couldn't happen. , Residents of Philadelphia have been nagging Akashic Books for years to see their own entry in the publisher's award-winning Noir Series. The time has finally come. And it warns, there may be no recovery from the tarnishing of this fine, fine collection of 15 original short stories.

Synopsis
"It's a collection enhanced by an unerring sense of place . . . that will please the most discriminating lovers of the dark side." -- Kirkus Reviews "It took long enough for Akashic's noir series to get to Philly. Now that it has, compiled under the shadowy auspices of Inquirer literary critic/West Philly native Carlin Romano, the fun begins." -- Philadelphia City Paper Includes brand-new stories by: Diane Ayres, Cordelia Frances Biddle, Keith Gilman, Cary Holladay, Solomon Jones, Gerald Kolpan, Aimee LaBrie, Halimah Marcus, Carlin Romano, Asali Solomon, Laura Spagnoli, Duane Swierczynski, Dennis Tafoya, and Jim Zervanos. Carlin Romano , critic-at-large of the Chronicle of Higher Education and literary critic of The Philadelphia Inquirer for twenty-five years, teaches philosophy and media theory at the University of Pennsylvania. In 2006 he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism, cited by the Pulitzer Board for "bringing new vitality to the classic essay across a formidable array of topics." He lives in University City, Philadelphia, in the only house on his block., "It's a collection enhanced by an unerring sense of place . . . that will please the most discriminating lovers of the dark side." -- Kirkus Reviews "It took long enough for Akashic's noir series to get to Philly. Now that it has, compiled under the shadowy auspices of Inquirer literary critic/West Philly native Carlin Romano, the fun begins." -- Philadelphia City Paper Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each story is set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the city of the book. Brand-new stories by: Meredith Anthony, Diane Ayres, Cordelia Frances Biddle, Keith Gilman, Cary Holladay, Solomon Jones, Gerald Kolpan, Aimee LaBrie, Halimah Marcus, Carlin Romano, Asali Solomon, Laura Spagnoli, Duane Swierczynski, Dennis Tafoya, and Jim Zervanos. From the introduction by Carlin Romano: "America's first great city, first capital, and first industrial metropolis contained from the beginning the mix of poor workers and elite culture, of ethnic enclaves and religious intolerance, of easy skullduggery and flesh-pot possibilities, that led Lincoln Steffens in 1903 to famously rule it 'corrupt and contented.' Colonel William Markham, deputy governor of Pennsylvania from 1693 to 1699 (and William Penn's cousin), was the first official on the take, hiding pirates at one hundred pounds a head, including Captain Kidd himself. We've had many similarly devoted public servants since . . . "Per capita, Philadelphia matches any city, weirdo incident for weirdo incident. But we trump everyone on history . . . With apologies, you won't find the obvious here. Having served as literary critic of the Philadelphia Inquirer for twenty-five years, and written more stories on "Philadelphia literature" than anyone living, I thank my contributors for their very limited references to hoagies, cheesesteaks, water ice, soft pretzels, and waitresses who call their customers "Hon." There's no glimpse of Claes Oldenburg's Clothespin or the rowers by the Waterworks, and only one passing mention of Rocky. Truth is, we don't talk much about those things. We just live our lives.", Residents of Philadelphia have been nagging Akashic Books for years to see their own entry in the award-winning Noir series. The time has finally arrived - but the city must beware as there may be no recovery from the tarnishing of this collection of 15 original crime stories. Features brand-new stories by Diane Ayres, Cordelia Frances Biddle, Keith Gilman, Cary Holladay, Solomon Jones, Gerald Kolpan, Aimee LaBrie, Halimah Marcus, Carlin Romano, Asali Solomon, Laura Spagnoli, Duane Swierczynski, Dennis Tafoya and Jim Zervanos., Philly finally enters the Noir Series arena: the City of Brotherly Love becomes a City of Brotherly Malice.

- l***w (11)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufExcellent communication with top tier customer service. I was given an option of hardback or softback books to purchase and told exactly how long each one would take. Upon making my selection I was informed about what that particular type would entail, quality condition, and it was shipped almost right away. The package arrived in good shape, all of the books had all of their pages, exactly as promised. I am very thankful for a wonderful customer experience with this seller. 10/10.A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket Hard Cover Set 1-13 COMPLETE (Nr. 176559677544)
- a***9 (160)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufMain set has arrived safely and sound. Per our conversation, the single from a 3rd source has not yet arrived. Items are as described, good condition, clean. Very happy with communication and quality. As per third photo, do you by any chance have The Black Stallion's Shadow and The Black Stallion's Steeple-Chaser? If so, I would be interested in acquiring those from you, also.
- e***j (5)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufOne book was missing from my package and the seller overnighted the missing book to me. Fast service. There were some hardcover and softcover books mixed which was described in the description. The books were in good condition- some were a little worn. Buying the whole lot was about the same price as buying individually but it saved me time from looking at all the listings. I’d buy from this seller again.
