520    Brand-new stories by: Sinan Antoon, Ali Bader, Mohammed 
       Alwan Jabr, Nassif Falak, Dheya al-Khalidi, Hussain al-
       Mozany, Layla Qasrany, Hayet Raies, Muhsin al-Ramli, Ahmed
       Saadawi, Hadia Said, Salima Salih, Salar Abdoh, and Roy 
       Scranton. From the introduction by Samuel Shimon: "While 
       all Iraqis will readily agree that their life has always 
       been noir, the majority of the stories in Baghdad Noir are
       set in the years following the American invasion of 2003, 
       though one story is set in 1950 and three are set in the 
       1970s and 1980s. Yet it is this recent history of Iraq-
       over the last few decades-that serves to inform its 
       present . . . Cementing the destruction of Iraqi life was 
       Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. But that was 
       hardly the end of Iraq's noir story. In April 2003, the US
       invasion, though it precipitated the end of Saddam's 
       dictatorial rule, killed off any possibility of a secular,
       modern Iraq once and for all. "Taken as a whole, the 
       stories in Baghdad Noir testify to the enduring resilience
       of the Iraqi spirit amid an ongoing, real-life milieu of 
       despair that the literary form of noir can at best only 
       approximate. Yet the contributions here manage to hold 
       their own as individual stories, where the rich traditions
       of intersecting cultures transcend the immediate political
       reality-even while being simultaneously informed by it. 
       Much like the diverse tapestry of cultures that join 
       together on the banks of the Tigris to form the City of 
       Peace, Baghdad Noir reveals that there's nothing 
       monolithic or ordinary about the voices of its writers."
