NOTES

This unique anthology of crime fiction features 15 original stories. At first glance, Marrakech may seem like an odd setting for noir fiction. Contemporary Moroccans call it The Joyful City-a place where locals are happy to joke about gossip and quick to forget stories of crime. But in Marrakech Noir, some of Morocco's finest authors address old wrong that have been kept hidden behind the city's ancient gates, and spin contemporary tales of poverty, grift, and violence in this global tourist destination. Marrakech Noir features brand-new stories by Fouad Laroui, Allal Bourqia, Abdelkader Benali, Mohamed Zouhair, Mohamed Achaari, Hanane Derkaoui, Fatiha Morchid, Mahi Binebine, Mohamed Nedali, Halima Zine El Abidine, My Seddik Rabbaj, Yassin Adnan, Karima Nadir, Taha Adnan, and Lahcen Bakour
