San Juan Noir

Really good! Super fun! Right up my alley.

Picked this up in a small bookstore in Old San Juan while on vacation last month and read through most of it there. Seeing that Akashic Books has an entire series of city based noir collections has got me very interested in grabbing a copies to take with me on trips to the title cities.

Very quick read, more a flash fiction collection than a short story collection which made it perfect for bumming around with.

Like all collections quality varies pretty dramatically with some absolute bangers (Two Deaths for Angela by Ana Maria Fuster Lavin and Death on the Scaffold by Janette Bacerra in particular) scattered throughout.

Great collection and a brilliant idea for a series.
