Reseña del libro "Code Noir: Fictions (en Inglés)"

Groundbreaking, dazzling debut fiction from one of Canada's most exciting and admired writers, winner of the prestigious Windham-Campbell Prize Canisia Lubrin's debut fiction is a 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 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-layer 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. The stories are accompanied by fifty-nine black-and-white drawings--one at the start of each fiction--by acclaimed visual artist Torkwase Dyson.
