Trinidad Noir

Trinidad Noir Synopsis

Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each story is set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the city of the book. This volume showcases some of the best writing from Trinidad & Tobago's outstanding literary history. The collection starts with pre-Independence writing - dating all the way back to 1927 - and continues through the twentieth century and up to contemporary writers of recent years. The diversity of styles and cultures captured in Trinidad Noir: The Classics is a fascinating reflection of Trinidad.
