Havana Noir

Havana Noir by Achy Obejas, editor, 2007

This is the third collection of short crime stories in the Noir City series published by Akashic Books that I've read in the past year. This one collected stories that take place in Havana that were written by current or past residents of the city. I read this book from mid September to mid October 2021.

I didn't know any of the authors in this collection unlike the other books in this series. These stories of the real Havana of crime, poverty, desperation and collective hysteria. A very remarkable collection of some really strange characters in incredibly disturbing situations.

Very entertaining in a weird way.
