Le XIQ est un pont entre littérature et architecture: il poursuit les recherches de l’auteur autour du rapport intime entre texte et dessin, entre récit et album. C’est un conte architectural, souvent plein d’humour, à la forte identité graphique. L’ouvrage imbrique selon une construction précise, permettant diverses navigations à travers l’ouvrage, trois formes de narration: un lexique (X), des interludes (I) et des fictions architecturales (Q). Ces trois formes donnent le titre : les X sont les inconnues, les I les invités (Paul Ricoeur, Anne-Marie Schwarzenbach, Georges Perec, Italo Calvino,…) et les Q les quastions (ou quasi-fictions). Le XIQ offre un voyage dans la compréhension critique de l’architecture autour d’un kaléïdoscope de renvois et de références de tous temps, de la culture populaire aux thèmes actuels, en passant par des questions de nature philosophique et esthétique.

"If on a winter's night a traveler" turns out to be not one novel but ten, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author, and each interrupted at a moment of suspense. Together they form a labyrinth of literatures, known and unknown, alive and extinct, through which two readers, a male and a female, pursue both the story lines that intrigue them and one another.

The rare work of irresistibly inviting philosophy, Bachelard’s seminal work brims with quiet revelations and stirring, mysterious imagery. This lyrical journey takes as its premise the emergence of the poetic image and finds an ideal metaphor in the intimate spaces of our homes. Guiding us through a stream of meditations on poetry, art, and the blooming of consciousness itself, Bachelard examines the domestic places that shape and hold our dreams and memories. Houses and rooms; cellars and attics; drawers, chests, and wardrobes; nests and shells; nooks and corners: No space is too vast or too small to be filled by our thoughts and our reveries. In Bachelard’s enchanting spaces, “We are never real historians, but always near poets, and our emotion is perhaps nothing but an expression of a poetry that was lost.”

An elegiac and luminous cut-up, "Dusty Pink" brings together race wire results, editions of France-Soir, the lyrics to well-known British songs, scripts from famous old films, pharmaceutical leaflets, fashion ads, and strips and scraps of culture in which the avant-garde and academicism blur in an overview of the cultural scene. This world of atmospheres, portraits, and dazzling associations of ideas creates a plane of shimmering surfaces.

Global Dystopias engages the familiar horrors of George Orwell’s 1984 alongside new work by China Miéville, Tananarive Due, and Maria Dahvana Headley. In “Don’t Press Charges, and I Won’t Sue,” award-winning writer Charlie Jane Anders uses popularized stigmas toward transgender people to create a not-so-distant future in which conversion therapy is not only normalized, but funded by the government. Henry Farrell surveys the work of dystopian forebear Philip K. Dick and argues that distinctions between the present and the possible future aren’t always that clear. Contributors also include Margaret Atwood and award-winning speculative writer, Nalo Hopkinson.
