A Jewish con sells himself out by getting a swastika tattoo. A young woman finds a strangled guy on her first day of work at a synagogue. A turn of the century Jewish bootlegger (the last man legally hanged in Illinois) asks for a black hood at his hanging -- as one final jab at the KKK.
All this (not to mention Moses himself) is Jewish Noir, a collection of all-new short stories published in 2015 by PM Press.
In this episode, Nicky speaks with two St. Louis fiction writers published in the collection, Jedidiah Ayers & Tasha Kaminsky. The two read excerpts from their stories & talk about the seedy side of fiction, the Jewishness of noir & the background behind their narratives. Midway through, the group is joined by Kenneth Wishnia, editor of the collection.
