Whether these stories are peopled by soldiers, students, children, and parents, they keep asking, 'Who belongs in Jerusalem?' and its corollary, 'Who does Jerusalem belong to?'--the central questions of this volume, which handles them with heartfelt sensitivity. Pushes the boundaries of noir in a welcome new direction.\" --\u003cem\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFROM THE EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e: \"This anthology offers a fictional tour of Jerusalem, this time through the lens of the noir genre. Not all the stories in this book include a detective, a femme fatale, or a dead body. In fact, a significant number of the writers chose to avoid these genre staples. And yet the stories--each taking place in a different part of the city--sketch a dark, imagined map of the city, where religious mystery dwells alongside the quotidian, claustrophobic hubbub of the Central Bus Station . . . The stories included in \u003cem\u003eWest Jerusalem Noir\u003c\/em\u003e could not have taken place anywhere else. They reflect national, religious, and socioeconomic tensions inherent to the city and sketch an image of a concrete, contemporary, and complicated Jerusalem.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFeaturing brand-new stories by\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yiftach Ashkenazi, Ilana Bernstein, Emanuel Yitzhak Levi and Guli Dolev-Hashiloni, Liat Elkayam, Asaf Schurr, Yardenne Greenspan, Ilai Rowner, Zohar Elmakias, Ilan Rubin Fields, Nano Shabtai, Yaara Shehori, Tafat Hacohen-Bick, Nadav Lapid, Tehila Hakimi, and Oded Wolkstein.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eWest Jerusalem Noir\u003c\/em\u003e is being published simultaneously with \u003cem\u003eEast Jerusalem Noir, \u003c\/em\u003e edited by Rawya Jarjoura Burbara.
