Praise for Hardboiled Brooklyn "In a collection as uneven as the borough's mean-but-gentrifying streets, 17 crime writers present freshly commissioned stories about Brooklyn denizens ranging from white children at play in the idealized Dodgers era to recent Chinese immigrants sweating over cards in basement gambling dens. If the picture appears fragmented, perhaps that's because Brooklyn is "a broad flat plain covered with tribes," as Gabriel Cohen puts it in his piquant tale of two lonely cops stalking crooked repairmen. Although editor Coleman might have helped his book by salting a few classic tales among the new works, there plenty of other highlights. These include Joseph Wallace's O. Henry twist on standing up to a childhood bully, Peter Blauner's sharp snapshot of a dad who loses his son on the F train to Coney Island, and, especially, Jim Fusilli's pitch-perfect take on rival teen-idol wannabes who give new meaning to the word hit at the dawn of the pop and civil-rights era".—Booklist “Hardboiled Brooklyn is a rocky ride full of surprises that linger in my memory. The stories all get right to the point and provide insights into a Brooklyn state of mind, each word ringing true. May Reed Farrel Coleman next turn his editing sights on the Bronx or Manhattan.”—Stuart Kaminsky “Reed Coleman and friends serve up Brooklyn the only way it should be–Hard-Boiled.”—James O. Born | ||
