Excelente tradução e edição pela Editora Tabla (mais uma vez), Beirut Noir é um livro muito político e emocionante.
Alguns contos me deixaram meio avoado, talvez pela falta de familiaridade com as referência à Beirute que são vastas. Ainda assim, a imersão é incrível e cada conto tem uma personalidade própria.

Maybe because I listened to the audiobook, but it seemed like there was not a lot of variety in this collection. So the same narrator made the stories kind of blend for me. It was definitely noir. I learned a little bit about Beirut, but I have a lot more questions about its history since the 70s. Hard to recommend because many of the stories were depressing and disturbing.
