D.C. Noir, Edited by George Pelecanos
It's about the collective memories of the locals and also about the voices. If you close your eyes and listen to the people of this city, you will hear the many different voices.
We have tried to explore every quadrant of the city and many of the neighborhoods within them and have not forgotten the federal city and downtown. We have listed the well-known and the someday--will-be. The writers include lifelong Washingtonians, imports and exports, a gentleman who was incarcerated when he wrote his story, a police officer, an actor, bloggers, journalists, blacks, whites, Hispanics, males and females, and yeah, even a Greek American.
