Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
For a place with an overall IQ of about 32 – to judge by all the shotgun-toting boobs sporting Sheriff Joe bumper stickers – Phoenix has an ace literary scene. Many of those same redneck yahoos who try to run you off the road every morning run amok in the pages of the new Phoenix Noir, the latest in New York-based Akashic Books’ noir-anthology series.
The book features dark, twisted turns by nationally noted scribes including Diana Gabaldon, Luis Alberto Urrea, and Lee Child. Contributors scheduled to attend this party include editor Patrick Millikin and writers writers Dogo Barry Graham and Robert Anglen.
