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.

"Let's go! Experience the magic of skating on wild ice. Two children wake up to hear the lake singing, then…
the wind begins wailing ... or is it a wolf? They bundle up and venture out into the cold, carrying their skates. On the snow-covered shore, they spot tracks made by fox, deer, hare, mink, otter ... and the wolf! In the bay, the ice is thick and smooth. 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!"Available copies:

À dix-huit ans, Sacha et son meilleur ami Tom quittent Montréal sur le pouce et aboutissent à Dawson City, au…
Yukon, où ils trouvent enfin la communauté de punks, d'anars et de vagabonds dont ils rêvaient. Ils adoptent une chienne-louve, Luna, et s'installent sur la Sixième Avenue, dans une cabane sans électricité ni eau courante. De jobs d'été en hivers chômés, de nuits blanches en road trips, d'amantes en amants, des années joyeuses passent dans un monde immense. Quand Sacha tombe amoureuse d'un autre, Tom se sent trahi : Sacha n'est qu'une pute, une profiteuse qui mérite d'être punie. Il répand son fiel ; le village choisit son camp. Puis la pandémie frappe. En quarantaine dans une cabane isolée, seule avec un coloc dont elle doit repousser les avances pressantes, Sacha compte les jours, tandis que les Dawsonites confinés font son procès
