PRAGUE NOIR

How many forms do Prague crimes, mysteries and secrets have? Fourteen Czech authors look for the answer to this question, continuing in the rich tradition of crime stories set in Prague. The result is a unique, varied collection of short stories by both established and promising Czech authors – an original guide to popular and less known locations in Prague. The thick volume, edited by literary critic Pavel Mandys, has been published simultaneously in Czech and English, and the New York publishing house Akashic Books included it into its prestigious series Noir. The authors include Kateřina Tučková, Miloš Urban, Michaela Klevisová, Ondřej Neff, Petr Šabach, Martin Goff,  Jiří Walker Procházka, Michal Sýkora, Irena Hejdová, Štěpán Kopřiva, Petra Soukupová and Petr Stančík.
