July's Books




Milwaukee Noir edited by Tim Hennessey
Fourteen stories set in various areas around Milwaukee, from West Allis to Whitefish Bay. Some of the authors included are Jane Hamilton, Reed Farrell Coleman, and Larry Watson. Some of my favorites are Matthrew J. Prigge’s “Third Street Waltz” about the closing of a porn theater; “Cousins” by Jennifer Morales about a Latinx named Carlisa who returns from Afghanistan and wants to be called Carlos; and “Mocking Season” –a story reminiscent of Ira Levin, about Whitefish Bay neighbors whose children are being poisoned by lawn chemicals.
