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; \u003ci\u003eCode Noir \u003c\/i\u003ehas 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. The stories are accompanied by black-and-white drawings—one at the start of each fiction—by acclaimed visual artist Torkwase Dyson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback | 360 pages | 5.18\" x 8.00\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canisia Lubrin (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47462008029416,"sku":"9780735282230x","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0386\/5896\/5549\/files\/BNCImageAPI_1fd7fb62-18d1-4f29-975c-5c53150dadda.jpg?v=1751837307","url":"https:\/\/typebooks.live\/products\/9780735282230","provider":"TYPE Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
