Maui Time Editor Releases Noir-Themed Nonfiction Collection
february 27, 2013 02:20 pm
Event Horizon Press has released a new volume of nonfiction,
Stealing Cars With The Pros, written by
Maui Time editor Anthony Pignataro.
Much of the book — which takes its title from a
2002 OC Weekly feature about a night Pignataro spent with two repo men — pulls from his years spent at
OC Weekly and
Maui Time.
"The book is a collection of some of my more noir-themed reporting since I became a reporter in January 1996," explains Pignataro. "The stories touch on classic noir themes — cops/crooks, beautiful women, misfits, rich guys, etc. Since much of my writing for alt-weeklies has been in the first person, the book ended up being more of a memoir of my journalism career so far than I'd anticipated when I first put it together."
The book is available at
Amazon and
Barnes & Noble.
