SUMMARY:San Juan Noir
DESCRIPTION:San Juan Noir Anthology Launches Amidst Puerto Rican Debt Crisis \n\n \n\nSan Juan Noir is an unprecedented volume of contemporary Puerto Rican fiction edited by renowned author Mayra Santos-Febres\, creator of Puerto Rico’s Festival de la Palabra which its New York edition will be celebrated at Loisaida Inc. Center this same weekend. \nShe’ll be attending this special New York City launch\, alongside anthology contributors Charlie Vázquez\, Wilfredo Burgos Matos and Manuel Meléndez—as part of Festival de la Palabra. This will take place at the Loisaida Center on Friday\, October 28th at 7:00p.m. \nPublisher Akashic Books will be on-hand to sell both Spanish-language and English-language copies of this breakthrough volume of Puerto Rican crime fiction\, which features writers from the island and the diaspora. The Loisaida Inc. Center is located at 710 E 9th Street\, NY\, NY 10009. \n“Puerto Rico is often portrayed as sandy beaches\, casinos\, luxury hotels\, relaxation\, and never-ending pleasure\,” Santos-Febres says. “But the financial downturn of 2008 hit us hard and as in many crises\, art\, music\, and literature have also flourished. We have responded to our crisis with many stories to tell. In these times\, many of those stories are noir.” \nThe fifteen stories compiled in San Juan Noir have been published in both Spanish and English editions and were written by Ernesto Quiñones\, Yolanda Arroyo Pizarro\, José Rabelo\, Luis Negrón\, Ana María Fuster Lavín\, Janette Becerra\, Manolo Núñez Negrón\, Tere Dávila\, Edmaris Carazo and Alejandro Álvarez Nieves. Come celebrate this historic moment… \nInfo: info@loisaida.org \nBook cover:
