Last night, Kingston Noir was launched in the US at Greenlight Bookstore in Brooklyn.  Colin Channer, the editor of the anthology and Christopher John Farley read from their stories; other contributors include Kwame Dawes, Patricia Powell, Kei Miller and Marlon James.  The collection is broken into three sections and each story focuses on different neighborhoods in Kingston. The noir collection by Akashic books features many other cities and countries, among them Brooklyn, Haiti and Trinidad. Channer said, “Kingston is not in the anthology because it’s dangerous but because it’s phenomenally interesting.”
