Marrakech is known as Morocco''s ''joyful city,'' and as editor of the collection Yassin Adnan details in his marvelous introduction to the anthology, it was at first difficult to gather enough stories to fill this volume in a country with no tradition of noir. Luckily for readers, the joyful city had enough scandals, smugglers, and other sordid tales to inspire writers to pay homage to the complexities of their city through crime writing."" - CrimeReads "" Marrakech Noir ... stands out for its sense of humour, ranging from screwball to wry... The 15 stories in Marrakech Noir are translated from Arabic, French and Dutch, and the crimes within are suited to a city where extreme wealth and poverty brush shoulders. There are women fleecing men, youths fleecing elders, guides fleecing tourists, and stories where everyone is trying to cheat everyone else... And what better way to get to know a city than to meet its criminals?"" - The National "" Marrakech Noir provides a convincing exploration of the noir genre, whilst balancing its own Arab literary intricacies and local eccentricities. Whether readers have been to Marrakech or not, this collection succeeds in immersing the reader in the bustling streets, glamorous riads, and darkest corners of the Red City."" - Banipal "" Marrakech Noir is unreservedly recommended."" - Midwest Book Review ""Armchair travelers will relish this collective look at Marrakech through the eyes of those who know its people and culture well."" - Publishers Weekly ""Thanks to all of this diversity and difference found in just one place, Marrakech supplies everyone with what they''re looking for. The work, as a whole, does a stellar job at showcasing the city''s importance, influence, and cultures... Whether you''ve been to Marrakech or not, this anthology promises to take you there."" - Asymptote Magazine ""As Adnan warns in his charming introduction, this is an unusually joy and humor-filled noir collection, although it also has its share of murders, accidents, abuse, and theft."" - Arab Lit Akashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir.

Here is the capital of tourism, the city of joy and sadness, the city of simple living, the city linked to international capitals through daily flights, the city of the new European community, a winter resort for French retirees, and a refuge for immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa.

Together their stories present a comprehensive portrait of the city, its sadness, violence, tension, and darkness, without neglecting its joyful spirit.

La captivante Marrakech, surnommée La joyeuse par les Marocains, attire les touristes du monde entier. « Viennent à elle ceux qui courent après le bonheur et les plaisirs nocturnes. Ses nuits sont flamboyantes et ses journées radieuses. » Ses visiteurs parcourent avec enchantement les ruelles animées de son ancienne médina et se laissent envoûter par l'animation pittoresque de SA célèbre place Jemaa el-Fna. Les nouvelles rassemblées dans ce recueil dessinent cependant de la ville ocre, en en montrant ses facettes obscures, un portrait complémentaire, et emmènent le lecteur hors des sentiers battus pour lui faire découvrir une autre Marrakech.
