They reflect national, religious, and socioeconomic tensions inherent to the city and sketch an image of a concrete, contemporary, and complicated Jerusalem.
The stories included in West Jerusalem Noir could not have taken place anywhere else. . .
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 .
In fact, a significant number of the writers chose to avoid these genre staples.
Not all the stories in this book include a detective, a femme fatale, or a dead body.
