<div>Israeli crime fiction that &ldquo;sets the bar high for subsequent Noir offerings. The genre is hot, Tel Aviv is exotic, and this volume is outstanding&rdquo; (Library Journal, starred review). Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies, launched with the summer &rsquo;04 award-winning bestseller Brooklyn Noir. Each book is comprised of all-new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city. For Tel Aviv Noir, Etgar Keret and Assaf Gavron have masterfully assembled some of Israel&rsquo;s top contemporary writers into a compulsively readable collection. Along with Gon Ben Ari&rsquo;s story &ldquo;Clear Recent History&rdquo;&mdash;winner of the Private Eye Writers of America Shamus Award for Best P.I. Short Story&mdash;this anthology includes brand-new stories by: Etgar Keret, Gadi Taub, Lavie Tidhar, Deakla Keydar, Matan Hermoni, Julia Fermentto, Shimon Adaf, Alex Epstein, Antonio Ungar, Gai Ad, Assaf Gavron, Silje Bekeng, and Yoav Katz; translated by Yardenne Greenspan. Jewish Journal&rsquo;s Noteworthy Books for the New Year &ldquo;There&rsquo;s a marvelous underlying tension to [the stories], a paranoid tinge, as if some vast monstrous conspiracy is lurking behind every misdeed and bad stroke of luck.&rdquo; &mdash;San Francisco Book Review &ldquo;The collection reflects much of the daily reality of the city, but not the sort one is likely to read in tour guides . . . There&rsquo;s a complexity and virtuosity to plot and prose that leaves the reader with a sense of satisfaction and appreciation, despite the typically devastating denouement of the tales . . . Superb.&rdquo; &mdash;PopMatters &ldquo;Consistently strong . . . Definitely one of the highlights in the long-running Akashic series.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist, starred review</div>

Tel Aviv Noir

<div>A new literary journal arrives on the scene with unpublished works from such superstars as Dave Eggers, Louise Erdrich, Haruki Murakami, and others. In this inaugural edition of Freeman&rsquo;s, a new biannual of unpublished writing, former Granta editor and NBCC president John Freeman brings together the best new fiction, nonfiction, and poetry about that electrifying moment when we arrive. Strange encounters abound. David Mitchell meets a ghost in Hiroshima Prefecture; Lydia Davis recounts her travels in the exotic territory of the Norwegian language; and in a Dave Eggers story, an elderly gentleman cannot remember why he brought a fork to a wedding. End points often turn out to be new beginnings. Louise Erdrich visits a Native American cemetery that celebrates the next journey, and in a Haruki Murakami story, an aging actor arrives back in his true self after performing a role, discovering he has changed, becoming a new person. Featuring startling new fiction by Laura van den Berg, Helen Simpson, and Tahmima Anam, as well as stirring essays by Aleksandar Hemon, Barry Lopez, and Garnette Cadogan, who relearned how to walk while being black upon arriving in NYC, Freeman&rsquo;s announces the arrival of an essential map to the best new writing in the world. &ldquo;A terrific anthology . . . Haruki Murakami, David Mitchell and a host of other lively writers let loose their imaginations in editor John Freeman&rsquo;s first outing with a new literary journal that is sure to become a classic in years to come.&rdquo; &mdash;San Francisco Chronicle</div>
