Review
"The ArabLit count in 2014, which attempted to be global, was 7/40, or 17% by female authors. All of this excludes anthologies, which are more likely to be egalitarian. For instance, the excellent 2015 Beirut Noir anthology, ed. Iman Humaydan, featured more than half women's work."--Your Middle East"No book could possibly describe the different faces of 21st century Beirut better than Beirut Noir. This anthology of short stories by Lebanese writers living in different neighborhoods of Beirut covers the spectrum of the city's paradoxical moods and colors--urban, rural, glorious, broken, traditional and liberal Beirut. Edited by Iman Humaydan Younes and including stories by Rawi Hage, Muhammad Abi Samra, Leila Eid and others, Beirut Noir forsakes nostalgia and exposes the city with crude honesty. This book will not sugar coat Beirut, but will show you the city in all its vulnerability and let you fall in love with it as it truly is."--The Culture Trip"The fifteen new stories of Beirut Noir were assembled by Lebanese novelist Iman Humaydan and deftly translated by Michelle Hartman. They were written in all of Lebanon's three main languages--Arabic, English, and French--and they approach the noir genre in markedly different ways. But they are united by loss: their characters have been left behind after so many countrymen have fled for the Lebanese countryside, Canada, the Gulf, the United States, South America, and Europe."--Qantara"The ArabLit count in 2014, which attempted to be global, was 7/40, or 17% by female authors.

This is chilling. moving, and lovely, all in one. I was captivated.
This is an anthology of stories written by different Lebanese authors. As no surprise, these war stories were, at times, painful to read. However, some stories were poetic. There is the mention of numbers, the soul, dolls and numbers. Beirut is also seen as a "companion of death" and as the "city that dances on its wounds." Although those descriptions made me fall back and regroup, I did not want to add the city of Beirut to my bucket list as a place to see.I only became excited about the city after reading about the lives of the characters. Their lives made me want to look at the photos and bios of the authors at the back of the book. I wondered did their faces in some way match the character in the story? I wanted to read why they had chosen the plot. Was it a true incident they had experienced, or was it one the author had heard from a friend? I did learn that Alawiya Sobh had a deep interest in issues that women faced. Hyam Yared's interest is that no author should face oppression due to what he or she has written. This is his freedom fight.Hearing about Beirut on the news throughout the years was another reason why I wanted to read these stories. Each author chooses to portray the war in the finest detail. In "Sails On The Sidewalk," by Marie Tawk, the dead father is remembered just by a cough. In this story, I also learned that our personal lives can become entwined very tightly with the war. So tightly that we use the war as the reason for taking a certain action.I did not expect to care so deeply about the characters. I also thought the war would add a ho-hum background. I am glad to say Beirut Noir edited by Iman Humaydan surprised me. Thank you for the tour of a city.akashicbooks.com/catalog/beirut-noir/
Beirut Noir is a collection of short stories in the Noir series published by Akashic Books. The stories were originally written in French, English or Arabic and all are set within the city of Beirut. Given their geographic setting, the Lebanese civil war, which engulfed the city from 1975-90, looms large within the stories. Some stories are set within the civil war, while others are shaped by its effects on the city itself, as well as the way the war molded the Lebanese people.Being in the genre of noir the stories all have dark undercurrents, although perhaps without the persistent violence that can often be found in the genre. For the most part I found them very readable and engaging. Given the setting of the stories in the middle east there were some elements of mystical thinking/believing, which may be commonly found within the residents of that locale, but made the stories a bit harder for me to grasp. Overall, I enjoyed reading this collection.
