For me, selfishly, this was probably the main reason I agreed to edit this collection of short stories . . . There are a few other circumstances that might justify my place in this adventure. I've lived in Toulouse for more than thirty-five years. I went to the university here, I've walked around its streets at night, have gone to bars, nightclubs, and concert halls . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"If the stories in the Akashic Books Noir Series are rooted in cities--Toulouse in this case--even reduced to their specificity, they also speak to our common humanity. \"Nothing human is foreign to me,\" Alban Bensa said repeatedly. And that's probably enough of a reason to read this collection, even if you never set foot here.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.2 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 04, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53849375736115,"sku":"9781636141978","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Pzu53kXhAX9781636141978.webp?v=1786573973","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/toulouse-noir-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
