The Cocaine Chronicles (2005) Anthology by Gary Phillips, Jervey Tervalon (ed. Sun77)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 2.4Mb
Overview: "...As to how this book came about, we’d been invited to the LosAngeles TimesFestival of Books to participate on a panel commemorating the tenth anniversary of the Los Angeles riots of 1992.
Jervey had edited Geography of Rage,a collection of essays about the civil unrest published in 2002, and Gary had a piece in it.
Later we talked about how weird it was that with all the anthologies, from the erotic to the criminal, we hadn’t come across any inspired by cocaine, the scourge of our times. We both thought it would be a good idea, but good ideas get lost with bad ones.
So we met a few weeks after the panel, kicked the idea around some more, and came up with an outline, but didn’t get too far beyond that. We went our separate ways assuming it wouldn’t get done.
Then along came Akashic Books publisher Johnny Temple, who, fresh from the success of Brooklyn Noir,an ambitious collection of crime-fiction stories, asked us about the cocaine idea months after we’d mentioned it to him in passing. Soon the concept was cranking, and not long after we began inviting submissions, excellent stories started blowing in..."
