Canisia Lubrin Code Noir review, recensie en informatie

• “Code Noir is a revelation. Proof that it is possible for an imagination to outpace the rest of us and beckon from a future far richer and more brilliant than anything we know. This book sings in searing language, telling stories that bristle and challenge, comfort and question. Canisia Lubrin is one of the finest writers and thinkers of our time, and in Code Noir is a voice that, once heard, can never be forgotten.” (Maaza Mengiste)
• “Code Noir is storytelling at its deepest and most intimate. These stories are magic and you must enter them as if you, too, are wondrous.” (Dionne Brand)

Flaptekst van het boek van Canisia Lubrin

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, deceptively simple, is based on the infamous Code Noir, a set of real 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, multilayered fragments filled with globe-wise characters who desire to live beyond the ruins of the past.

Accompanied by black-and-white drawings—one at the start of each fiction—by acclaimed visual artist Torkwase Dyson, and with a foreword by Christina Sharpe, Code Noir ranges in style from contemporary realism to dystopian literature, from futuristic fantasy to historical fiction. This inventive, shape-shifting braid of narratives exists far beyond the boundaries of an official decree.

Canisia Lubrin was born in 1984 on the island of St. Lucia and now lives in Canada. Her books include Voodoo Hypothesis and The Dyzgraphxst. Lubrin’s work has been recognized with the Griffin Poetry Prize, OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature, the OCM Bocas Prize for Poetry, the Derek Walcott Prize, the Writer’s Trust of Canada Rising Stars prize, and others. Also a finalist for the Trillium Award for Poetry and Governor General’s Literary Award, Lubrin has held fellowships at the Banff Centre, Civitella Ranieri in Italy, Simon Fraser University, Literature Colloquium Berlin, Queen’s University, and Victoria College at University of Toronto. She studied at York University and the University of Guelph, where she now coordinates the Creative Writing MFA in the School of English & Theatre Studies. In 2021, Lubrin received a Windham-Campbell prize for poetry, and the Globe & Mail named her Poet of the Year. She is is poetry editor at McClelland & Stewart.
