edited by Kenneth Wishnia and Chantelle Aimée Osman ; foreword by Lawrence Block

"This second volume of Jewish Noir brings together an all-new collection of twenty-three stories from literary and genre authors from across the globe--Jewish and non-Jewish alike--exploring both the light and dark sides of the religion and culture. In addition to overall themes of hope and fear during this time of rising anti-Semitism in the US and abroad, the stories explore such issues as the Jewish support of the civil rights movement, the enduring legacy of negative stereotypes, the history of prejudice, assimilation, and questions of regional, national, and ethnic identity in stories that range from the fantastical to the all-too-real."--, Publisher marketing
