Other Info
Things get going in a big way in April with this welcome return by a favorite of many, Walter Mosley. He was here (at the Northwest African American Museum, actually) a year ago with the first book of a new series – The Long Fall – featuring Leonid McGill as sleuth and ‘everyman’ and New York City as setting. This visit marks Leonid McGill’s newest adventure, Known to Evil (Riverhead). Of Known to Evil’s predecessor, The Boston Globe noted: “Mosley has created not only the newest of the great fictional detectives, but also an incisive and insightful commentator on the American scene.” And: “An astounding performance by a master. This is, simply, Mosley’s best work yet.” – Junot Díaz.

Seattle, WA – 07/11/09

Who
Seattle Noir vs. Portland Noir
When
Saturday, July 11, 2009
7:30pm - All Ages
Where
Elliott Bay Book Company (map)
1521 Tenth Avenue
Seattle, WA, USA 98122

The Elliott Bay Book Company is Seattle's leading independent bookstore and hosts an incredible reading series. Elliott Bay moved from it's location in Seattle's Pioneer Square (a historic district that is known as the source of the term "Skid Road") in April 2010. On the new location, Elliott Bay Book Company says,

"Be assured--the new place will have its own distinct charms, many of them very similar to what people have known and enjoyed about our Pioneer Square home. Everyone that we know of who's had a sneak peek as construction has ensued has gone 'wow' in appreciation and anticipation."
Other Info
Akashic Press' internationally-ranging "Noir" anthology series has taken readers into the darkest corners of New York, Havana, Brooklyn, London, Delhi, and many other shady cities. This summer, two iconic Northwest cities have joined the lineup, and response to the volumes has been enthusiastic. This fun pairing brings together editor and contributors to Seattle Noir, Curt Colbert and Bharti Kircher, together with the same from Portland Noir, Kevin Sampsell and Chris A. Bolton. Part of the evening's pleasure should be from the talk of working on the books, and exploration of the question: which is the more noir city?
