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; \u003ci\u003eCode Noir\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRanging 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Canisia Lubrin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 159376796X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781593767969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Soft Skull\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Canisia Lubrin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45897977102591,"sku":"9781593767969","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_679dd315-d1ef-4c62-855d-393b0fa87a35.jpg?v=1721375206","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/code-noir-canisia-lubrin-9781593767969","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
