'A revelation... Lubrin is one of the finest writers and thinkers of our time.' Maaza Mengiste 'Code Noir is storytelling at its deepest and most intimate.' Dionne Brand * Finalist for the Atwood Gibson Writers' Trust Fiction Prize * A Globe and Mail Best Book of 2024 *** A dazzling political tour de force from multi-award-winning author Canisia Lubrin The original Code Noir was an infamous set of fifty-nine decrees passed by King Louis XIV. The Code enforced strict rules governing the lives of slaves in the French colonies for over a hundred years. Canisia Lubrin's stunning debut brings together fifty-nine linked fictions, riffing on the historical to take an electrifying new look at the present day. Interspersed with original black-and-white drawings by acclaimed visual artist Torkwase Dyson, this inventive, shape-shifting braid of narratives ranges from contemporary reality to unexpected dystopia, futuristic fantasy to historical adventure. Linked by the determination of individuals to look beyond official decrees, beyond the ruins of the past, and to create meaning and freedom for themselves, the fictions of Code Noir combine immense literary and political force in unforgettable, multi-layered fragments.
Canisia Lubrin's poetry books include Voodoo Hypothesis and The Dyzgraphxst. Lubrin's work has been recognized with the Griffin Poetry Prize, OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature and others. Lubrin has held fellowships at the Banff Centre, Simon Fraser University, Literature Colloquium Berlin, and 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. Code Noir: Metamorphoses is her debut fiction. Born in St. Lucia, Lubrin now lives in Whitby, Ontario, and is poetry editor at McClelland & Stewart.
