From Larry Kramer's New York to Roth's Newark and Colla's Baghdad, this collection of 15 essays explores how American contemporary literature tackles the issue of urban violence, its relationship with the forerunners of the genre, and how its main features evolved over time. New critical perspectives on the subject are slowly disclosed, as the shadow of "noir" darkens the city grounds in LA like in Rome, in New Orleans like in Berlin.
