Joburg the city meets Noir the genre, and the pair are made for each other. 'In noir the problem is not an individual: the problem is the world. Institutions are corrupt, public moralities hypocritical, the watchmen un-watched. No one gets away clean' (Seely, 2016). Sound familiar? Welcome to Joburg Noir. While the stories allow the reader to layer their experience of current Johannesburg with the traces, memories and experiences of these writers, they also provide a weapon against entrenched and invisible systems of power and privilege and a haven for seldom heard, angry voices; voices that seek to reveal the city space by displaying its complex dynamics. Do they succeed? Perhaps, but at least they are the ones who can look Joburg in the face without flinching. Edited and compiled by the inimitable Niq Mhlongo - no stranger to the world of publishing with three novels, two collections of short stories, and the editor of a bestselling collection of essays, Black Tax, Burden or Ubuntu?, to his name - this collection showcases the depth of black writing talent in South Africa. It illustrates how a publication of this nature, which breaks with tradition and grows the talent pool, adds more than just another publication to the bookshop shelves."--Page 4 of cover. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Short stories, South African (English) $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Noir fiction $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Noir fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01038352 650 7 $a Short stories, South African (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117377 651 0 $a Johannesburg (South Africa) $v Fiction. 651 7 $a South Africa $z Johannesburg. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206332 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Noir fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01922488 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 655 7 $a Noir fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Mhlongo, Nicholas, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025743.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=60EFE324E9E911EBBBC9467A3DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
