Code Noir
Par Canisia Lubrin. 2024
Here is groundbreaking, dazzling debut fiction from one of Canada's most exciting and admired writers.Canisia Lubrin's debut fiction is that…
rare work of art—a brilliant, startlingly original book that combines immense literary and political force. Its structure is deceptively simple: it departs from the infamous real-life "Code Noir," a set of historical decrees originally passed in 1685 by King Louis XIV of France defining the conditions of slavery in the French colonial empire. The original Code had fifty-nine articles; Code Noir has fifty-nine linked fictions—vivid, unforgettable, multi-layered fragments filled with globe-wise characters who desire to live beyond the ruins of the past. Ranging in style from contemporary realism to dystopia, from futuristic fantasy to historical fiction, this inventive, shape-shifting braid of stories exists far beyond the enclosures of official decrees. This is a timely, daring, virtuosic book by a young literary star.
Lait cru
Par Steve Poutré. 2024
La ferme québécoise n'est ni verdoyante, ni paisible; elle est hantée. Par les disparus, les histoires de peur, les secrets…
de famille et les poussins morts dans leur coquille. Parmi ces ombres, un garçon marche à la lisière des champs et des bois pour finalement franchir cette fine frontière, rejoignant corps flottants, acouphènes et cauchemars. Mais même hospitalisé, il continue d'arpenter le rang, de chercher ce qui, entre la servitude des humains et des bêtes, n'est peut-être pas perdu. Injectant une bonne dose de gothique dans le terroir québécois, Lait cru se boit d'une traite

They lace up their skates, step onto the ice, stroking and gliding, and the great lake sings again. In her signature poetic style, Jean E. Pendziwol describes the exhilarating experience of skating on the wild ice of Lake Superior, including the haunting singing that occurs as the ice expands and contracts. Accompanied by Todd Stewart's breathtaking illustrations, this book will make us all long to skate wild!"
